About The Study: In this retrospective cohort study, modest amounts of medical debt in collections persisted for years after cancer diagnosis. Total debt in collections was present at higher amounts for certain cancer subpopulations. The persistence of adverse financial outcomes after cancer diagnosis, despite high rates of insurance coverage in Massachusetts, warrants further research and consideration of broader systemic reforms.
