Before the bill becomes debt.
Althea helps you find and understand your hospital's financial-assistance program before an unaffordable bill becomes debt.
Example Medical Center
You may qualify for financial assistance.
This estimate is based on the hospital's published policy. The hospital decides.
Many hospitals offer free or discounted care through Financial Assistance Policies. Finding the correct policy, understanding the rules, and completing the process can be overwhelming. Althea turns it into a guided path.

Relief
Independent charitable help for a verified remaining balance.
You should not need to understand hospital billing rules just to know whether help is available. There is no medical loan. There is no percentage taken from your financial assistance. Your hospital makes the final decision about its own financial-assistance program.

Relief Rail
Powered by Circle. Controlled with Privy. Liveness from World.
Liveness
Selfie Check is one signal against automated claims on a limited charitable fund. It is never used to decide hospital assistance.
Control
The Relief treasury, policy, and approval sit with the organization. The agent does not get an open hand.
Execution
The Agent Stack carries out a grant that has already been approved. It does not choose who receives help.
Settlement
USDC in. Grant out. Public proof that funds moved. No medical file on the transaction.
Hospital financial assistance never touches these rails. The patient never holds a wallet.
Althea turns independent charitable funds into a programmable relief network.
Relief Network
Foundations, employers, and community funds keep their own policy-controlled wallets. Althea discovers which already-authorized pools can contribute to a verified remaining balance, reserves USDC, and settles only after provider confirmation.
Althea Relief is an independent charitable fund designed for verified medical hardship remaining after available hospital financial assistance has been explored.
Patients should not have to publish their medical story to receive help. Althea keeps sensitive patient information private while using transparent financial infrastructure to show that charitable funds were actually disbursed.
Check My Bill. No loans. No percentage of your hospital assistance.
