At MemorialCare, we are proud to provide quality care to all our patients, regardless of ability to pay. We believe that no one should delay seeking emergency medical care because they lack health insurance or are worried about their ability to pay. Our financial counselors will assist you in determining your eligibility for federal, state and/or county programs. MemorialCare has a Patient Financial Assistance Program that provides free or discounted emergency services to eligible patients.
Our Patient Financial Assistance Program helps to make our services available to everyone in our community. This includes people who don’t have health insurance and can’t pay their hospital bill and patients who have insurance but are unable to pay the portion of their bill that insurance doesn’t cover. In some cases, eligible patients may not be required to pay for services; in others, they may be asked to make partial payment.
Our Patient Financial Services Department will work with you to determine if you are eligible. In order to be considered for financial assistance, the patient (or their family representative) must complete an application and provide information that supports their financial need. When we review the application, we consider:
