Taking on Debt from Credit card to Pay Medical Bills

Even if you use all the options possible, medical negotiation does not always work. If you can’t get your medical bill reduced or eliminated by negotiating, there are other choices, such as taking on debt by using a credit card or taking out an unsecured personal advance.

Using a credit card to pay medical bills is not usually recommended because of credit cards’ naturally high interest rates. However, if you’ve tried all negotiating strategies and are still having trouble paying your unpaid balance after the six months’ grace period given by credit reporting medical agencies, it might be better to pay the bill with a credit card than to have your account sent to collections and have a negative effect on your credit report.

Another option that might be work is taking out an unsecured personal loan to pay the medical bills. Personal loans’ interest rates can be significantly lower than those of credit cards, particularly if you have a healthy credit history. They can be used for many purposes and since a fixed-rate, unsecured personal loan is in installment debt—in contrast to the revolving debt of credit cards—the balance is paid on a fixed payment schedule.

 If you qualify for an unsecured personal loan with a manageable interest rate and monthly payment, you can use it to pay off your medical bills immediately and avoid accruing late fees or having the bill move into collections.
