The Medical Debt Mitigation Amendment Act of 2025 aims to mitigate the impact of medical debt in the District of Columbia. It mandates that large health care facilities establish a financial assistance policy, ensuring that patients with household income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level are not charged more than $2,300 in cumulative medical bills per year. The Act prohibits medical debt collectors from reporting medical debt to consumer reporting agencies, initiating lawsuits, or referring debts to other collectors if the patient is eligible for financial assistance.
