Let’s face it—no one chooses to have blood cancer, and nobody wants their treatment to be a financial burden to them or their family.
If you are currently facing medical debt, our Medical Debt Case Management Program offers free, personalized assistance to find options to help manage it. Check your eligibility.
Medical Debt Case Managers will work with you one-on-one to identify ways to reduce your current and future debt by:
- Addressing financial concerns
- Identifying resources
- Assisting with insurance plan evaluation and enrollment
- Navigating insurance benefits, denials of care, and out-of-pocket costs
If your medical debt has become unmanageable, our Medical Debt Case Management Program can empower you to address it. Apply now

Monday to Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST
Our case managers work individually with patients and their caregivers, which means there is a limited number of cases they can take each day. If you do not get into the program today, please continue to check back daily.
Note: The program is not a debt forgiveness program, does NOT pay off medical debt, and cannot assist with debt that is in collections. Program case managers work with patients and offer ways to help manage current debt and prevent accumulating more.
The Tackling Medical Debt Initiative.
47%
of cancer patients and survivors incurred medical debt because of their care
25%
of adults say that in the past 12 months, they have skipped or postponed getting the health care they needed because of the cost
63%
of adults with healthcare debt cut spending on food, clothing and other basic needs
Change will only come by pushing for broader, systemic reforms to reduce the burden of medical debt for millions of patients. Our Office of Public Policy advocates at both state and federal levels for policies that ensure eligible patients can access hospital assistance and are spared the most punishing effects of medical debt.
- In 2024, our advocacy helped secure 16 new state laws protecting patients from medical debt.
- We also played a key role in advancing new federal regulations intended to keep medical debt off patients’ credit reports.
We’re working hard to support policies that cap medical debt interest rates, limit the sale of medical debt, prohibit reporting of medical debt to credit bureaus, and more.
But there’s so much more to be done.
