Generally, there are a few different ways to get your medical bills paid. First, would be by your health insurance provider. You or your employer have paid a premium for health insurance and your health insurance company is generally “first in line.” Depending on your coverage they can help pay for your treatment.
Second, would be your automobile insurance company. A lot of car insurance companies sell MedPay coverage which helps to cover cost of care after an auto accident. MedPay is generally limited but it is another place you can find money to help pay for your medical bills. Both your health and auto insurance providers will probably tell you to go talk to the other driver’s insurance company and they will try not to pay you but if it is part of your plan then they have to. Don’t be surprised if they expect you to repay them with whatever damages your awarded.
