One in five North Carolinians have medical debt in collections, and our state has the 20th highest hospital prices in the country despite wages ranking only 40th. Here are some general tips to follow when you face a bill you can’t afford to pay.

The Governor’s Office and NCDHHS have initiated a groundbreaking medical debt relief incentive program that will relieve medical debt for two million North Carolinians, cap interest rates on medical debt, provide generous discounts on hospital prices to families with certain incomes, automatically enroll people into financial assistance, and prohibit selling debt to collectors.

We are proud to partner with Dollar For, a national nonprofit that crushes medical bills by helping patients access charity care. This direct service program has leveraged technology to help 17,079 patients apply for financial assistance. You can easily apply for help using the link below.
