For Patients
A holistic approach to healthcare
Healthcare Debt Relief serves as an essential partner to enhance your existing financial assistance and community support initiatives. While hospitals offer charity care programs, far too many patients still fall through the cracks and carry burdensome medical debt for years.
Healthcare Debt Relief bridges this gap as a donor-funded non-profit dedicated to alleviating medical debt for individuals facing financial strain. We provide confidential resources, data insights, and dedicated support to help relieve over-burdened healthcare providers and the communities they serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We review every application on a case-by-case basis. Qualifications are generally based on financial hardship, household income, outstanding bill size, and inability to clear the debt independently. Whether you are uninsured, underinsured, or facing unexpected medical emergencies, we encourage you to submit an inquiry so our team can review your situation.
-
After you submit your information and upload your doctor's or hospital bill through our online Get Help form, our intake team reviews your documentation. Rather than sending money directly to individuals, we work directly with your healthcare provider or billing department to pay down, negotiate, or clear your eligible balance.
-
No. To ensure absolute transparency and compliance as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all approved funds are paid directly to healthcare facilities, billing departments, or collections agencies on behalf of the patient.
-
Absolutely. We treat your personal stories, financial records, and medical bills with strict confidentiality and dignity. Your information is only accessed by authorized team members responsible for evaluating your assistance application.
