Payment Arrangements:  Understanding that even fortunate people cannot always pay their healthcare bills immediately, it is our goal to arrive at mutually agreeable payment arrangements which take into consideration a family's income and expenses.  If paying your bill in full would create a hardship for your household, we will set up affordable payments.  No interest or set-up fees are charged.
