Payment Methods

Medical Insurance Policy

Pay for a medical policy and stop worrying about unexpected medical expenses. However, most programs cover just a portion of the cost of charges you may face. In this case, you may need additional financial assistance to pay for your extra charges.

Non-Profit Financial Assistance Programs

If you meet the income eligibility criteria, you can refer to non-profit institutions for patients with low income or plagued by financial hardship.

Medical Credit Cards

This option lets you cover the cost of medical treatment and often comes with an introductory grace period with 0% APR, usually up to 24 months.

Medical Loans

If you need some instant money with guaranteed approval, you can get a medical loan to cover your extra charges. This option is also available for customers with poor credit scores.
