Are you looking for help with medical bills? Many patients in the United States can’t afford to pay their medical debt and search for ways to help lower hospital bills.
Good news! Many patients don’t realize they may qualify for medical financial assistance programs, also known as hospital charity care.
People are often surprised that they qualify for medical bill help at their hospital. Under federal law, nonprofit hospitals must offer free or discounted medical care to low and middle-income patients, even families making as much as $70,000-$90,000 a year.
The problem is that most patients don’t know about these medical bill help programs and don’t know how to apply for financial aid for medical bills. These programs can reduce or eliminate medical bills for people with incomes below a certain level. Learn more about charity care.
