If in between jobs I assume no or limited income. They can apply for a "Medicaid spendown" which is a limited term Medicaid plan which helps to cover high medical bills. No guarantees but worth a shot.

wait until it goes to collections



No need to damage your credit, call the finance office at the hospital, they will reduce it by 50-70% on their own
