Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance

This policy applies to the cost of services for medically necessary services provided by the Facility to patients who meet the requirements for charity care or discounted payment. Unless otherwise specified, this policy does not apply to services provided by physicians or other medical providers, including, without limitation, emergency room physicians, anesthesiologists, radiologists, hospitalists, pathologists, etc., whose services are not included in a patient’s bill from the Facility. This policy does not create an obligation for the Facility to pay for such physicians’ or other medical providers’ services. In California, an emergency physician who provides emergency services in a hospital is required to provide discounts to uninsured patients or patients with high medical costs who are at or below 400 percent of the federal poverty level.
