Frequently asked questions

What is Dollar For, and how does it help with hospital bills?

Dollar For is a nonprofit that helps people get their medical bills reduced or forgiven through hospital financial assistance programs. Many nonprofit hospitals offer aid, but the process can be complicated. Dollar For simplifies it by checking if you qualify and handling the application for free.

Who qualifies for medical bill forgiveness through Dollar For?

Every hospital has different rules, but in general, if you make under 300-400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), you may qualify for hospital financial assistance. That’s roughly $43,000–$58,000 a year for a single person, with higher limits for families. The easiest way to find out? Use Dollar For’s eligibility checker on their website.

How old can my hospital bill be to qualify for assistance?

Under federal law, nonprofit hospitals must accept financial assistance applications for up to 240 days (about 8 months) after issuing the first post-discharge bill. If your bill is older than that, you may no longer be eligible, but some hospitals have their own policies, so it’s worth checking with your provider.

Does Dollar For pay my medical bills for me?

No, Dollar For doesn’t pay bills directly. Instead, they help you apply for hospital financial assistance, which can reduce or even eliminate your medical debt if you qualify. They handle the paperwork, making the process as simple as possible.
