Far too few patients are aware they may qualify for financial assistance that would reduce or wipe-out their medical debt. Economic Action Maryland Fund is thrilled to partner with Dollar For to help patients in Maryland apply for hospital financial assistance.

Dollar For has been working nationwide to crush medical debt by helping patients apply for financial assistance and advocating with hospitals to eliminate or reduce patients’ medical debt.

If you or someone you know has medical debt from a hospital stay, click on this link which will take you to our page. On the page you can:

• See if you may qualify for financial assistance
• If you qualify, complete the patient forms
• Dollar For will submit the forms for you and advocate for you to reduce or eliminate your medical debt.

If you do not qualify for financial assistance, check out our Guide to Medical Debt to learn how you can apply for an income-based payment plan or financial hardship assistance. We can also direct you to support in Maryland.

No one should shoulder the burden of medical debt because they or a loved one fell ill. We are happy to provide this new way for working families to end their medical debt by accessing this tool. At the same time, we’re committed to pressing for systemic reforms to our healthcare system to make healthcare affordable, accessible, and universal as well as to end medical debt in Maryland.
