Free resource for people with medical debt

The Access Project provides free one-on-one coaching to people with medical debt, regardless of their income. Program participants get help negotiating with insurance companies, hospitals, and other health care providers for fee reductions, affordable payment plans, and fairer treatment.

Medical debt is money owed for any type of medical service or product, and includes credit card debt.
