The Smart Strategy for Medical Debt — Negotiate First, Then Finance
- 1
Request an itemized bill
Up to 80% of medical bills contain errors. Always request an itemized statement and review every line item for duplicate charges, incorrect codes, or services not received.
- 2
Negotiate the total
Call the hospital's billing department and ask for a financial hardship discount or a charity care reduction. Hospitals typically accept 40%–60% of billed amount for cash/check payment.
- 3
Apply for a personal loan
Once you know your negotiated amount, pre-qualify at PrimeLendings to see loan offers. A lump-sum payment may earn an additional prompt-pay discount.
- 4
Pay the settled amount
Use your loan proceeds to pay the negotiated medical bill in full. Then repay the personal loan at a predictable monthly rate — potentially 5.99%–20% APR vs hospital payment plan fees.
