Eligibility Criteria

Medical Debt: Applicants must have accumulated significant medical debt that they are struggling to repay. The amount of debt owed will be considered to determine eligibility, ensuring assistance is provided to those facing substantial financial challenges.

Financial Need: Applicants should demonstrate genuine financial need, which will be evaluated based on income, expenses, and other financial obligations. A standardized financial assessment process will be used to determine eligibility.

Medical Expenses: Applicants should provide documentation or proof of the incurred medical debt. This could include medical bills, invoices, or other relevant financial records that demonstrate the amount owed for medical expenses. 

Residency or Citizenship: Our organization follows non-discriminatory eligibility criteria that require applicants to be legal residents or citizens of the country where the organization operates. This ensures that assistance is provided to those who are part of the community.

No Recourse to Other Funding: Applicants may need to confirm that they have exhausted other available resources, such as insurance coverage, government assistance, or community programs, before seeking assistance.

Inquiries and Documentation: Clear guidelines on the information and documentation required from applicants to determine eligibility will be provided by the organization. This process will be transparent, consistent, and easy to follow.

Open to All: Our organization does not discriminate based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic. The eligibility criteria are universal and apply to all applicants without bias.

Priority Categories: In situations with limited resources, our organization may establish priority categories based on the urgency or severity of the medical debt, ensuring fair and equitable assistance for those in immediate financial need.

Recurring Eligibility Review: To ensure ongoing support to those in need, our organization may conduct periodic eligibility reviews to assess if applicants continue to meet the criteria.

Appeals Process: Our organization has implemented a transparent and fair appeals process for applicants who feel their eligibility decision was incorrect or unjust. This process involves a separate evaluation by a committee, taking into consideration all relevant information and ensuring an unbiased assessment of the eligibility decision. We value the importance of providing every applicant with a fair opportunity to address their concerns and seek resolution. The committee's decision will be final and communicated to the applicant in a timely manner.

At Medical Debt Forgiven, we are committed to providing support to those facing medical debt challenges and encourage individuals who meet the above eligibility criteria to apply for assistance.
