Amount of past-due medical debt among adults in the U.S. in 2022, by source of debt

As of June 2022, over a quarter of adults with past-due medical bills in the United States owed five thousand U.S. dollars or more in medical debt to hospitals. In contrast, 67.4 percent of adults with past-due medical debt, owed one thousand U.S. dollars or less to non-hospital providers. In general, Americans who had outstanding bills with hospitals were more likely to have a higher amount of medical debt compared to those who only had past-due medical debt from non-hospital providers.

截至2022年6月，美国有逾期医疗账单的成年人中，超过四分之一的人欠医院五千美元或以上的医疗债务。相比之下，67.4%的逾期医疗债务成年人，欠非医院提供者的债务不超过一千美元。总体而言，拥有医院未付账单的美国人相较于仅从非医院提供者那里有逾期医疗债务的人，更有可能拥有更高的医疗债务金额。
