Sponsored by Telethink Health If you’re facing a medical bill, you may qualify to get it written off entirely.  Charity care policies make that possible. The majority of U.S. hospitals are non-profits, and they’re legally required to have charity care policies, sometimes they’re called financial assistance policies.
