Boston and Cambridge Attorneys: Medical Bills and Bankruptcy
Medical debt is considered unsecured debt — meaning that there is no collateral holding the debt. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, most unsecured debt is dischargeable. If you are eligible for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be able to eliminate your medical debt, including medical bill debt from:
- Hospital stays
- Surgical treatments
- Imaging such as CT scans, MRIs or x-rays
- Doctor services
- Specialty treatments
- Physical therapy or other rehabilitative therapy
- Chiropractic services
- Dental services
- All other medical services already completed
We Tailor Our Bankruptcy Advice to Meet Your Needs
It is important to understand that medical debt is only dischargeable in bankruptcy if it was accrued before the date of your bankruptcy petition. Therefore, if you anticipate needing surgery or other significant uncovered medical expense in the near future, it is important to decide whether it is more beneficial for you to file bankruptcy now or in the future. Our Boston medical debt relief lawyers can provide you with strategic advice about your options.
