Financial Assistance/Charity Care Policy: 

A 100 percent discount for medically necessary services is available to patients who earn 200 percent or less of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines. Elective services such as cosmetic surgery are not included in our charity program. Those who earn between 201 and 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level guidelines may be eligible for a partial discount. Eligible patients will not be charged more than the Amount Generally Billed.

Patient copays and deductibles may be eligible for discounted rates if a patient qualifies for financial assistance and earns less than 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines. 

Discounts are also available to those patients who are facing catastrophic costs associated with their medical care. Catastrophic costs occur when a patient’s medical expenses for an episode of care exceed 20 percent of their income. In these cases patient copays and deductibles may also be included in the discount. 

Charity care discounts may be denied if patients are eligible for other funding sources such as Health Insurance Exchange plan or Medicaid eligibility and refuse or are unwilling to apply.

An application and supporting documentation is required to qualify.
