Medical bill forgiveness is a process where medical providers or creditors agree to reduce or eliminate a patient’s medical debt. This can be a significant relief for individuals who are struggling to pay off their medical bills and can help prevent financial ruin.
According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2019, 32% of adults in the United States had difficulty paying their medical bills, and 11% of adults had bills that were sent to a collection agency. Medical debt is also the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States, with 62% of all bankruptcies being caused by medical debt.
What Should You Do If You’re Sued for Medical Bills?
If you’re sued for medical bills, it’s essential to seek legal help from a medical debt attorney.

Medical Bill Forgiveness and Bankruptcy
It’s important to note that medical bill forgiveness is not the same as bankruptcy. Bankruptcy should only be considered as a last resort after exploring all other options.
