Medical Debt Financing

Find your best consolidation option for medical debt relief

Patient with cast on foot talks happily on phone, knowing his bills will be manageable.Your health is your most important asset, and you can’t always plan for the biggest costs, like surgery, hospital stays, medical equipment, and home health care. Before you know it, you may be over your head in medical bills. 


Medical Expenses Covered

Medical expenses can range from those not covered by insurance to co-pays, deductibles, and directly billed medical costs. If your medical debt is beyond your means to pay, seeking assistance is perfectly understandable. You are not alone! In fact, medical expenses account for more than 60 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. And the majority of those filing for medical expense-related bankruptcy had some kind of health insurance. 

Once you seek our help, we can determine how to assist you to cover many of these expenses. Depending on your specific financial situation, we may recommend one of a number of different options. Financing options may include a Health Improvement Loan, a lower-rate credit card, a Home Equity Loan or Line of Credit, or a Personal Loan. Ask us how we can evaluate your expenses, budget, and financial standing, and help you determine the best approach for you.

If you qualify for a Health Improvement Loan, the types of expenses covered include:

  • Dental, medical, or vision expenses1
  • Surgery
  • Prescriptions2
  • Physician’s charges, including well visits
  • Hospital bills, including supplies
  • Medical equipment
  • Over-the-counter medicines and home health/medical supplies3
