This is a big one, folks. We are beyond thrilled to welcome Ruth Landé of RIP Medical Debt to the Paytient Podcast.

We've been following the work of RIP Medical Debt for a while now. The nonprofit has wiped out nearly $7.4 billion in medical debt so far, helping more than 4 million individuals and families in the process.

Ruth talks with us about the origins of RIP Medical Debt, how the nonprofit navigates buying medical debt from providers and health systems, why the U.S. has such extreme issues with medical debt, and so much more. 

If you'd like to connect with RIP Medical Debt and learn how you can help support the cause, you can find them on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and at ripmedicaldebt.org.
