Medical Debt
Medical debt is a widespread issue that often persists rather than disappears. Unpaid healthcare bills commonly result in collections, escalating to a lawsuit or bankruptcy.
Facing a significant medical bill is challenging, but taking proactive steps is crucial. Learn more about how to stop the account from becoming overdue or reaching collections.
Removing medical debt from credit reports is more accessible thanks to proposed changes under the Medical Relief Act of 2021. Although the law wasn’t enacted, three major credit bureaus implemented revisions encompassing consumers’ rights to medical debt collections. Changes included granting additional time to settle healthcare bills and minimizing the visibility of most medical debt on credit reports.
Insurance
Discovering that a health insurance provider won’t cover a new prescription or has stopped covering current medication can be challenging. Explore these four tips when facing issues with medication coverage.
