Medical Bills and Bankruptcy
Unpaid medical bills are one of the main causes of the extreme sort of financial difficulties for which people seek the protection of bankruptcy. Either your medical bills are causing your financial problems, or perhaps you are worried that your doctor will not treat you because of your unpaid medical debts.

Can I Still Get Medical Treatment?
One of the biggest concerns of people with medical debt is whether or not they will be able to see a doctor, and the answer is different for different situations:
- Hospitals and doctors in large offices will continue to treat you even if you are in debt.
- Labs and other medical facilities will also continue to treat you even if you owe money.
- With doctors in smaller, solo offices, the answer can vary depending on a variety of circumstances, which we will discuss with you.
Working With Medical Practitioners to Pave Your Path to a Fresh Start
We can work with your medical providers to help you get the fresh start you need. Even if you are carrying medical debt, most hospitals, larger doctors' offices, and labs will continue to work with you.
- We can help you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy to eliminate most debt, including medical bills. We can negotiate between you and your doctor, to find some sort of payment plan that works for both of you ("reaffirm" the debt), so the doctor will keep seeing you.
- We can help you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy to set up a payment plan that works for you.
- We can help you repair your credit after bankruptcy so that your doctor will continue treating you.
