Advocate Health has undertaken measures to confront the medical debt crisis, including improving billing practices and increasing qualifying charity care patients. However, many patients feel these changes fall short.
Patients claim that the hospital chain's past billing practices caused them significant financial hardship, including drained savings and ruined credit, leading to emotional distress and reluctance to seek further medical care.
John Ashley shared his experience with Advocate Health, illustrating how a judgment for a medical bill left him feeling defeated and financially destroyed, contributing to avoidance of necessary healthcare.
Despite Advocate Health's recent announcements to cancel debt judgments, many patients still express dissatisfaction, feeling overwhelmed by the lasting impacts of the hospital chain’s previous actions.
