Medical Debt Resources
Jump to
Nobody should be burdened by unjust medical bills.
While we would love to help everyone who needs assistance, we cannot abolish medical debt by individual request. We approach the problem of medical debt by acquiring large portfolios of debt to help thousands of people at once.
Because medical debt affects so many people who may not have debt accounts in the portfolios we are able to purchase, we have compiled a list of resources that may be able to help in ways we cannot.
Resources
This list is not all-inclusive and may cover a variety of issues not directly related to your circumstances. Take some time to discover the most appropriate channel for you.
