Financing Medical Investigations


Medical investigations can be just as expensive as they are important. If you cannot afford to finance the procedures that will help you determine whether you are in need of treatment. Your health should be a priority at all times, and you need to know that there are options you can benefit from. For instance, it is possible to get loans for prostate cancer diagnosis, which can be taken against an existing life insurance policy. In other words, you can get a loan even if you have bad credit or are unemployed. Oftentimes, you may need a co-signer who would guarantee the loan repayment. That can be any family member, such as one of your parents or your spouse.


The TreeHouse Collective has put together the steps you need to follow when you need financial medical help.


  • 1. Make a list of medical investigations that you need, costs, and sum it up to get a ballpark figure. Correctly determining how much money you need is the first step in requesting a medical loan.

  • 2. Compare different loan providers. Pay attention to the rates offered, maximum amounts, as well as the terms offered. If bank loans are unavailable to you, try applying for a loan with a local credit union. These institutions usually have more convenient conditions and a financial advisor available to guide you free of charge. Banks and alternative lenders may also approve your loan application.

  • 3. Calculate whether you can repay your loan on time. Take into account a situation in which you may need further treatment and will be unable to work for a short period of time. Use the information from the loan offers that you received.

  • 4. Carefully read any contract prior to signing it. If you cannot focus on financial matters, consider asking a close friend or a family member to help you manage contracts or ask for professional financial advice on your behalf. Remember that a legitimate lender will encourage you to read the loan agreement and ask clarifying questions.

Avoid credit brokers, if possible. They have high fees for their services, and your personal information may be at risk. It is much safer to contact a loan provider directly.


If your loan gets approved, you can also use it to finance treatments that involve long-term care such as dialysis and chemotherapy. You can take an additional loan for treatments that require huge sums of money like organ transplantation and surgery abroad. A high cost of treatment and diagnosis make thousands of people apply for medical investigation loans. To avoid dealing with emergencies, The TreeHouse Collective recommends doing your physical on a regular basis and identifying any issues at an early stage.
