How We Help With Medical Debt
Medical bills are classified as unsecured debt, meaning they can be completely eliminated through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If Chapter 7 isn't an option, Chapter 13 can consolidate medical debt into a manageable repayment plan.
Filing for medical bankruptcy can:
- Completely eliminate qualifying medical bills
- Stop collection agency calls and harassment
- Prevent wage garnishment for medical debt
- Stop lawsuits from hospitals and collection agencies
- Give you a fresh financial start
