Removing Financial Barriers to Health

Iluminate is a nonprofit corporation founded on the belief that no one should have to choose between their health and their financial security. We tackle the financial determinants that keep people from accessing the care they need.

To improve community health outcomes by directly addressing the financial barriers to healthcare — providing medical debt relief, health savings education, and benefits navigation for underserved populations.

A world where healthcare costs never prevent anyone from seeking treatment, and every family has the financial knowledge and tools to manage their health with confidence.

Our Approach

We combine direct financial assistance with education and systems advocacy — relieving immediate medical debt burdens while building long-term financial health literacy in our communities.

The Healthcare Affordability Crisis

Medical debt is the #1 source of debt in collections in America. Financial stress doesn't just drain bank accounts — it directly harms physical and mental health, creating a devastating cycle.

$220B

Americans collectively owe over $220 billion in medical debt — more than credit card or auto loan debt for many families.

1 in 4

Adults delay or skip medical care due to cost concerns, leading to worse health outcomes and higher emergency costs down the road.

66%

Of all personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are tied to medical issues — either from the bills themselves or lost income during illness.

Our Core Programs

Each program targets a critical financial barrier to healthcare, delivering real, measurable change in the lives of the people we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about health wallets, HSAs, FSAs, and managing your healthcare finances.

What is a health wallet?

A health wallet is a digital tool that helps you manage all your healthcare finances in one place — including tracking medical expenses, managing HSA and FSA accounts, budgeting for healthcare costs, organizing medical bills, and setting savings goals for planned procedures.

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account for individuals enrolled in a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). HSAs offer a triple tax benefit: contributions are tax-deductible, growth is tax-free, and qualified medical withdrawals are tax-free. For 2025, limits are $4,300 (individual) and $8,550 (family).

What is the difference between an HSA and an FSA?

HSAs are individually owned, roll over year-to-year, and require a High-Deductible Health Plan. FSAs are employer-owned, typically use-it-or-lose-it, and are available with any health plan. HSAs offer more long-term savings flexibility while FSAs provide immediate tax savings on predictable medical expenses.

Is the Iluminate Wallet health finance app free?

Yes, the Iluminate Wallet app is completely free. It includes expense tracking, HSA/FSA management, budget planning, bill management, savings goals, and access to a curated directory of healthcare financial resources — all at no cost as part of our nonprofit mission.

How does Iluminate help with medical debt?

Through our Iluminate Relief program, we purchase medical debt portfolios on the secondary market — often at pennies on the dollar — and forgive that debt entirely. We also provide billing advocacy, charity care application assistance, credit repair support, and one-on-one financial counseling.
