Despite Insurance Medical Debt is Still Top Concern

Despite more people being covered by health insurance than ever before, medical debt is still a significant factor facing our economy.

In fact, according to a recent study by the Federal CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), 59% of people who answered the survey reported that unpaid medical services was the reason they were contacted by a collection agency.

What’s most interesting about this trend is the fact a study by the Urban Institute found that the percentage of families that had problems paying medical bills declined from 22% in 2013 to 17.3% in 2015. So while less families had trouble paying for their medical care, medical debt was still the single biggest reason for getting contacted by a collection agency.

One notable factor had to do with the type of insurance coverage that some families can afford. Typically, people covered by “high deductible” plans had a harder time paying for their medical bills.

All this means that the need for medical and dental practices to collect on unpaid medical bills is still very much a reality.
