Yes, it is one of the most common reasons for bankruptcy filings. But, you must prove to the court that you are unable to repay the debt. Just incurring a medical bill does not entitle someone to successfully file bankruptcy and discharge the bill so you are no longer required to repay it. If by being required to repay the bill would make you homeless and lacking of basic necessities of life you will probably be able to successfully file. On the other hand if the court decides that your situation is such that you could repay - over a period payments and you would still be able to have the basic necessities like food, home, etc. Then a limited form of bankruptcy occurs, called a Chapter 13.
