- Notes: It’s not common knowledge that there are many financial aid programs to assist patients with their medical bills. \[Patient assistance programs\](https://atlas.health/) help patients find the financial help they require. Often, the programs also pay for medications, treatments, and transportation to medical appointments. By informing patients of programs they may qualify for and advocating for these programs, you can ease the burden of some families in regards to medical debt.
