Good day Sir/Madam,
My mother Nita N. Lopez, 63, a dialysis patient for 3 years have tested positive in RT PCR test on 23 Sept 2021. As a result, no dialysis center would accept her for a week until we were able to schedule for one dialysis treatment. We brought her to the hospital for the scheduled treatment, halfway her dialysis session, she was sent back to emergency room, her doctor said her case was a severe case of covid19. The next day we were transfered to one of their isolation rooms for treatment. 10 days of hospitalization we ended up with a bill of 153k and we cant pay.Pls help
