I have a financial evaluation appointment at the hospital to see how much I can pay for my hospital bill (I got injured with no health insurance), the hospital bill came out to $5,000. I make $1,000 p/month almost minimum wage in Florida, and I have a lot of expenses. I want to set up a payment schedule with the hospital where I can pay about $20 p/month. I have a bank account with some savings, will I be forced to pay the hospital bill in one payment with the money from my bank account (since I have enough in the bank account to pay the hospital bill) or will they still let me set up a payment schedule even knowing that I have enough to pay for the hospital bill with the money in my savings account?

P.S. What are some good reasons for giving them of why I can’t use the money from my savings account?
Any advice would be appreciated.
