Medical bills

Anyone facing unpaid medical bills, ongoing treatment, or recovery costs.

IDA grants help individuals cover medical bills that insurance or savings have not fully closed — hospital stays, ongoing treatment, prescriptions, specialist visits, and recovery costs. Tell us what you owe, what the care is for, and what remains unpaid. Selected awards are grants, not medical loans. You do not repay an IDA award.

IDA grant programs are not loans. If you are selected, you do not repay the award. Applying does not guarantee funds. Write plainly. Completeness matters more than perfect wording.

    The treatment worked. The invoices almost undid the treatment.
