Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Wisconsin

Yes, since most hospitals and other medical providers accept federal funding, the government requires them to accommodate indigent people who cannot afford care, so they will probably continue to serve you. Many medical providers are also nonprofit or religious based organizations who, in theory, are not in health care "just for the money," but rather to help those in need, which includes people who have been forced into bankruptcy by the horrible economic circumstances of recent years. Your level of service might suffer slightly with smaller providers who personally keep track of accounts, but with larger providers, the person you are working with will likely have no idea that you have even filed bankruptcy. In 30 years of doing this, I have never yet had a client come back to my office and complain about being "fired" as a patient by any provider.
