Can you claim bankruptcy for medical debt?

Yes, you can claim bankruptcy for medical debt. Medical debt is a type of unsecured debt, which means that it is not backed by collateral. This makes it easier to discharge in bankruptcy than secured debt, such as a mortgage or car loan.

When you file for bankruptcy, you will need to list all of your debts, including your medical debt. The bankruptcy court will then determine whether you are eligible to discharge your debt. If you are eligible, your medical debt will be wiped out and you will no longer be obligated to pay it.

Filing for bankruptcy can be a complex and stressful process, but it may be the best way to get rid of your medical debt. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, it is important to talk to a bankruptcy attorney to discuss your options.
