Hi, my name's Jared Walker.
I'm the founder of Dollar For.

00:03.500 --> 00:07.300
Dollar For is a national non-profit organization
that helps people with hospital bills.

00:07.300 --> 00:11.700
A lot of people don't know this, but most
hospitals in America are non-profits,

00:11.700 --> 00:15.200
which means they have to have financial
assistance or charity care policies.

00:15.200 --> 00:18.700
If you qualify, the hospitals will
waive or reduce your hospital bills.

00:18.700 --> 00:22.200
These programs are buried in hospital
websites, and the forms are confusing,

00:22.200 --> 00:24.200
and there's just little to no support.

00:24.200 --> 00:26.500
Dollar For helps patients
see if they're eligible.

00:26.500 --> 00:29.400
We walk them through the paperwork
and submit their application.

00:29.400 --> 00:32.900
Each hospital is gonna have its own
rules on who will qualify,

00:32.900 --> 00:37.500
but on average, a family of four making less
than $100,000 will be eligible for something.

00:37.500 --> 00:40.900
Millions and millions of people are on
payment plans or declaring bankruptcy

00:40.900 --> 00:43.500
for bills that they do not have to pay.

00:43.500 --> 00:46.900
It is shocking how many people are
missing out on these programs.

00:46.900 --> 00:50.000
Even if you don't think you're eligible,
you should absolutely apply.
