A: I'm sorry for your mom's heart attack. Contact the hospital administration where your mom is staying. The billing and collections department could try to investigate what insurance programs she may have coverage under. If her workplace did not provide insurance, contact the social services department of the hospital. There's no guarantee, but it's possible their social workers could explore options for financial assistance. Good luck to your mom for a healthy recovery.
