Some time back I contacted the consultants who do anesthesiology for my ECT regarding them writing off a portion of my bill. They said they don't have a patient financial assistance program, so I paid $25 of the $800 I was accruing each treatment every month. The $25 was all I could afford and it kept us from being turned over to collections.

I just found out that they do have a debt write-off program. Each month they forgive $300 for us. I am so very relieved. I thought I was going to have to quit the ECT due to costs.
