Kelcey!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a detailed response & all your advice. Since you went to JCMC as well, do you mind answering a few questions in regards to your response? I called up JCMC after reading your response with the following questions & they told me to consult their charity care office for responses. 1.Is there a difference between complete medical record and the itemized bill? If yes, then how so? 2.Where did you get both these records from? Except for bills (stating only I owe X amount), I have gotten nothing else in mail, email or the JCMC online account). 3.Where can I request my complete medical record and itemized bill from? 4.Do you know any particularly helpful people at the charity care center that I should go to? Or any people I should avoid? 5.Where did you find out about your rights? Any online info, resources, people, departments that you used during your experience? You're right about the separate bills. I have gotten 2 separate bills with just the amount owed and nothing else on there. A total of 4 bills for my 2 accidents requiring ER care. Please please please share whatever you might feel will be helpful to me. I feel ill-equipped & scared in fighting persistently for my case. But I'm going to listen to your advice & do everything step by step at a time. Gather all my documents, study my rights, read & understand as much as I can before the beginning of the real work (dealing with different people, being shuffled around etc). Once again, thank you so much Kelcey! I appreciate this a lot.

This says, applicants have upto 1 year from date of service to apply for charity care. Still, I would love to hear from other people how much charity care covered etc.

Has anyone dealt with charity care office (financial counseling office) located at 953 Garfield Ave? Did they help you out with the bill?
I have 2 emergency medical bills from JCMC. I was under the impression my school's health insurance which is valid till August 2015 will take care of most of the bill. Turns out it will NOT cover it as I am not taking any classes this semester. Now that I can walk again, it's time for me to go to the financial counseling center to submit some documents. However, I see a hand written note that says submit documents within 10 days of service. Is it too late for me to get any aid from the financial counseling center of JCMC? I will call them tomorrow as well, but I wanted to find out if anyone had any experiences with them.

Hey meltedopsicle!
Thanks for giving me the details. I do need to print stuff quite often so it's good to know about the all the options with their details. Do you mind telling me the place where you get discounts for big printing jobs? I just found out about Sky Printing LLC on Montgomery street that does bulk printing as well. (min $30 job). In the email, they said they're open to street traffic from 6 am - noon. Am still waiting for her to get back to me about the printing rates.

Thanks! I actually need to go to Newport so I'm on my way now there. Will find the UPS store. JSQ will take a while with the slowed trains (weekend schedule).
Thanks for responding!!

Hey guys,
I need to print something in the next hour or so. My printer at home has gotten jammed due to paper.The main library is closed. Post Net is closed. Does anyone know where I can print a few emails in the next hour or so here in DTJC? I do not have a car so I cannot go to the other libraries in DTJC - they're a bit far away & I won't have the time to go there, print and then come back. HELP!
