Tennessee Medical Bill Assistance

Tennessee has for years carried one of the nation's highest rates of personal bankruptcy filings. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Tennessee lead the nation in personal bankruptcy filings in 1997.

While there are many fingers pointing at lax liability insurance requirements and higher rates of divorce, it has also been noted that medical debt is one of the key reasons for bankruptcy filings.
