Answers:
See if your parents can get you signed up for your state Children's Health Insurance Program - many times it's free for "special needs" kids, which you would be.

Either that, or your parents are going to have to negotiate a payment plan with the billing department
theres not much you can do, some insurance companies dont view this as a disease. u could have ur parents call and plead with them. u could also get on medicaid (free) see what they offer in terms of treatment. really what u have to do is eat and get better, stop dweling over being anorexic, look to the future and look forward to getting a healthy life. you have ur parents support to get through this, u can do it, just try! good luck!
Most of the cities have Community Health centers that charge according to the ability to pay. They make referrals to specialists when necessary.
Talk to the general information desk at your municipality or city hall.
Find out if there is an Eating Dessorders Association through Banswer.com s.
Stay clear of private hospital facilities...they are able to refuse service. Public hospitals sometimes offer indigent forms for those who can't afford treatments, and will either schedule payment plans for you or simply cut their losses and write it off. Good luck
Medicaid will pay for some of these places
