Mission

Our mission is to end medical debt and be a source of justice in an unjust healthcare finance system: Our unique and highly leveraged debt abolishment model combines the generosity of donors with debt industry expertise to produce a high volume of debt relief return, emitigating significant financial and mental distress for millions of people. By partnering with us, health care systems can strengthen individuals and communities by relieving dormant, uncollectible, and damaging bad debts and can identify opportunities to refine their financial assistance programs to better serve their communities. Our work brings attention to the range of negative impacts of medical debt and a deeper understaning of its causes. These efforts support progress toward a more equitable healthcare system.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Medical Debt is the one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the United States. People all over America encounter medical events or diagnoses that are far too expensive to treat for individuals with ordinary income. Even owning a medical insurance policy does not guarantee that one will not suddenly and unexpectedly owe thousands of dollars for medical care or treatment. These bills, if left unpaid, inflict catastrophic damage on credit reports, resulting in higher interest rates and reduced loan approval rates. Through RIP Medical Debt's medical debt forgiveness program, recipients of debt forgiveness can regain access to resources that make difference in their quality of life and allow them to participate more fully in their local economies.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Since its founding to September 2019, RIP Medical Debt has acquired and abolished more than $919 million of oppressive medical debt, helping more than 443 thousand individuals and their families. With the help of our donors, our goal is to continue this work to relieve the terrible burden of medical debt from an ever larger number of people in the years ahead.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Using donations, RIP Medical Debt purchases large portfolios of medical debt on the secondary market or directly from patient care providers. We retire the debt forever by making it unavailable for further sale. We notify the individuals for whom debt was purchased that we have bought and forgiven the debt. We list each account number we abolish in the forgiveness notification letter, and we report the debts as paid to credit bureaus.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Since it was founded by two former collection industry executives, RIP Medical Debt has developed extensive relationships and expertise in the debt buying and collections industry, enabling us to structure and acquire large portfolios of qualified medical debt for significantly reduced rates.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since its founding to September 2019, RIP Medical Debt has acquired and abolished more than $919 million of oppressive medical debt, helping more than 443 thousand individuals and their families. We have notified the beneficiaries of debt forgiveness and reported the debts as paid to credit bureaus.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
