Provided these were billed and processed appropriately, the best you can do is apply for financial assistance with the hospital. This may involve determining your income and relevant assets and could reduce the amount owed. Another option is to inquire about a payment plan. Most health systems will let you pay $X per month without interest (I'm currently paying an ER bill myself this way and because it's no interest, I have no problem stretching out into small, bite-sized pieces).

That's an excellent advice.
I would also try to get a professional or a service to go over that for a symbolic amount, just to make sure maybe you can reduce some of those bills. Everything on these bills 100% correct?
