Bankruptcy and Medical Debt
Medical debt is considered unsecured debt, and unsecured debt is dis-chargeable through
Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Debt is typically discharged within four to five months of the bankruptcy filing.
If an individual is not eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
Chapter 13 bankruptcy may still be an option. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, medical debt is reorganized and may be significantly reduced. A repayment plan is established, allowing the debtor to repay a portion of the debts over a three- to five-year period.
