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.
