Over 100 million Americans have medical debt, including 740,000 New Yorkers. Every hospital in NY State is required to offer financial assistance to people who make as much as 4 times the poverty level, and some hospitals are even more generous. (That’s $62,600 for an individual, and $128,600 for a family of 4)  But surveys show that two-thirds of consumers do not know. Assistance applies to both uninsured and underinsured people, regardless of immigration status. Rose Gasner and Aviva Goldstein will be offering a workshop to show you how to take advantage of this program with tips and tricks that can reduce or even eliminate your debt to hospitals. The process is usually simple, but our presenters will be able to offer you one-on-one assistance if needed!  This is a virtual event, a ZOOM link will be shared as we get closer to the event!
