Help With Medical Bills?
Just asking for people's advice, I am getting all the bills in for having my epilepsy surgery, the 2 stays in the emu and it is very pricey and I've been off work for a couple months from the surgery, Does anyone know how I'd be able to get help paying for them? Thanks in advance!

I ran into a similar situation a few years back. I ended up with a $35,000 bill. Check with patient accounts at the Hospitals. Many have financial assistance, others use sliding scales. Etc.
Check with the Epilepsy foundation of PA.
epilepsy foundation of MO kept a long list of resources.
If none of these ideas work try reaching out to your epilepsy foundation. They usually have help with some of these challenges. They also help with getting you the medicine when you don't have insurance.
Might you be able to get assistance from an organization or possibly the State? I know there are funds set aside for people in need.
There are a few options that may help with managing the medical bills for your epilepsy surgery and related care:
1. Check if the drug manufacturers have patient assistance programs to help cover the costs of medications. These programs often have income qualifications to determine eligibility (source 2).
