No. A bench warrant is a method used to compel appearance for a criminal or quasi-criminal (like traffic tickets that require an appearance in court) matter. Failure to pay medical bills is a civil action. The courts do not arrest people or compel their appearance for simple failure to pay a debt. If a defendant fails to appear for a civil trial, the court will enter a default judgment against the missing party, but will not issue a bench warrant.

Can a bench warrant be issued for failure to appear in court for a civil case where the summons was sent in the mail but never personally served on the defendant?

A bench warrant will not issue in a civil action for failure to appear on a summons. At best, the party who fails to appear will have a judgment entered against him/her whether it was served by mail or not. Failure to answer a summons is simply tantamount to admitting the allegations in the complaint are true and judgment should be entered as requested.
