I Can’t Pay My Bill
Medical bills are commonly pushed to the back burner when financial trouble strikes. Patients should never avoid customer service during these times. It is best to contact Kaiser Permanente directly at the billing department for payment plan options. One customer received a $4,000 bill and a payment plan was established for $200 a month to pay off the balance. Customer service for the billing department can be reached at 1-800-348-0264.
It is best to keep concise records of all contact and bill payments made to Kaiser Permanente. The same customer who placed the $4,000 medical bill on a payment plan was accused of not making monthly payments despite having a physical record of payments made. In this case, it is best to contact Kaiser Permanente and offer to fax all payment verifications to the billing department. If late payment charges are assessed on payments already made, patients may have a legal case and should contact a lawyer for legal advice.
Will They Work With Me to Pay My Bill?
Yes, we’ve discovered several customers who’ve placed past due balances on a payment plan, but there is no information on payment plans offered on the official website.
