Financial Assistance
We understand that healthcare costs can be unexpected. This page provides information about our Financial Assistance Policy for patients who may have difficulty paying their medical bills. Patients can learn about eligibility criteria, access the financial assistance application, review the full policy, and explore available payment options, including installment plans for those who qualify. You'll also find guidance on insurance coverage questions and resources to help you better understand your financial responsibility for the care you receive.
Our financial advisors will screen you for insurance through the state. Eligibility is based on, among other factors, family income and number of family members in the household. If you think you may be eligible for financial assistance, you can find an application by clicking this link. (Find our full Financial Assistance policy here.) Installment plans are also available for those who qualify.
To obtain a clear understanding of your benefits and any limitations of your insurance coverage, it is best to contact your insurance company directly for an explanation of benefits.
