HOSPITAL PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Area hospitals have programs to help people who are
uninsured/underinsured to pay for care. The patient needs to ask about the
Patient Financial Assistance Programs before care/services are rendered.
Most programs have an income eligibility requirement. These programs help
patients avoid having bills go to collection. These programs offer people
reduced or adjusted bills, or payment arrangements may be scheduled over
time on an individual basis. Hospital Patient Financial Assistance
Programs all vary slightly, so it's important to call the appropriate
office at the hospital of your choice.
