GetInsured retires approximately $13M of medical debt across the United States
Over the last few years, GetInsured has been working in partnership with the non-profit Undue Medical Debt to help eliminate medical debt. Most recently, GetInsured made its ninth such medical debt purchase, which brings the total amount of debt erased to just under $13 million for over 9,000 recipients nationwide. One of GetInsured’s goals is for as many Americans as possible to have access to affordable high quality health care; working with Undue Medical Debt to alleviate financial barriers to health care access is a key component of GetInsured’s mission.
“Medical debt is an issue of tremendous consequence, as we know that it can drive middle and working class families into poverty,” said Chini Krishnan, co-founder and CEO of GetInsured. “While the root causes of medical debt undoubtedly need to be addressed by policymakers, our mission, as a company, is to make sure everyone has access to affordable, quality healthcare with a health plan that best suits their needs.“
Help GetInsured end the stress of crippling medical debt for people in need across the nation.

The actual amount of medical debt outstanding nationwide is much higher than the reported $75 billion on credit reports. Less than 10 percent of medical debt each year is reported to the credit reporting agencies. It is estimated by RIP that approximately $1 trillion is owed by Americans, accumulated over the last 8-10 years. Since its inception in 2014, Undue Medical Debt has abolished over $13.3 billion in medical debt, benefiting more than 8.57 million people nationwide.
