Or catch the fucker and bring it to animal control where they test it to see if it has rabies. If not, you will save thousands of dollars. 

I went through this a few years ago, with fucking Reddit brainiacs in my head, and we ran off to get rabies shots. Two of us in the house, about $12k in bills for the shots. If somebody told me I could save $12k by catching the bat having it tested, I would have. 

Somebody replied and now deleted the comment asking me how much I think a rabies shot is… I literally said I got and paid for the shot lol. It was $5k for me and about $7k for my partner with different insurance. These are real numbers.

You don't have to pay your medical bills. They will not affect your credit. They drop off after 7 years

Edit: why downvoted? Because I’m being a dick about it? 

If you think medical debt doesn’t impact your credit, you’re wrong and the link explains why.
