Emry Health and GoFundMe Collaborate to Reduce Medical Costs for Americans

Emry Health and GoFundMe: A Partnership to Alleviate Medical Costs

In a significant move to support healthcare affordability, Emry Health has announced an innovative partnership with GoFundMe. This collaboration aims to provide assistance to Americans grappling with overwhelming medical debts. As many individuals face financial hardships due to escalating healthcare costs, this partnership seeks to enhance the resources available for those in need.

Medical expenses continue to be a leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States, impacting over 100 million individuals struggling with insurmountable medical bills. Even people with insurance are often blindsided by rising deductibles and unexpected charges, leaving them feeling both anxious and overwhelmed. In 2024, GoFundMe successfully raised over $1 billion for medical-related fundraising efforts, enabling families to seek financial help during crises.

To empower these fundraisers, Emry Health introduces BillAssist, a platform designed to assist individuals by reducing their medical expenses through various available financial assistance programs. Average users of BillAssist witness savings exceeding $3,000 for each medical bill processed, with many reporting reductions upwards of $50,000 for substantial medical bills. This innovative resource aims to ensure that funds raised through GoFundMe directly contribute to patient recovery rather than merely addressing hospital charges.

Derek Fitteron, President of Emry Health, expressed the organization's commitment to easing financial burdens during health crises: "In times of medical emergencies, individuals should concentrate solely on their recovery, rather than the weight of their financial circumstances. By working with GoFundMe, we are providing a crucial resource that enables individuals to use their donations efficiently, allowing them to prioritize their health and well-being."

A Seamless Process for Fundraisers

Accessing this support is straightforward. After launching a medical fundraiser on GoFundMe, users can tap into Emry's secure web portal or mobile app. Here, they can determine their eligibility for hospital financial assistance. This assistance can dramatically lower or even eliminate medical bills. Once they upload their bills, Emry's team of expert advocates steps in to review and negotiate costs with healthcare providers, ensuring that patients receive the best possible outcome without unnecessary stress.

GoFundMe users eager to save on overwhelming medical bills can begin their journey by visiting Emry Health’s official website. They will find all the necessary resources to initiate their bill relief journey, providing not just hope but actionable steps towards reducing their financial burden.
