Financial Assistance Programs

Uninsured Discount Program

Our hospital is committed to providing quality care to our community. To keep that commitment, we must work with you and your insurance carrier to help manage costs.

Our hospital requests payment for services at the time of discharge from the Outpatient and Emergency Departments. A Patient Access staff member will notify you of your financial obligation, such as insurance co-payments or self-pay responsibility. This will be collected during the discharge process. There are organizations (such as the Health Consumer Alliance at https://healthconsumer.org) that can help you understand the billing and payment process. You can find a list of shoppable services offered by our hospital on our Hospital Pricing Page.

For patients who do not have insurance coverage, there are alternate funding and payment plan options offered by our hospital. Our Patient Access staff will work with you to identify the best payment option based on government or hospital rules and regulations. The following is an overview of the financial assistance programs provided by our hospital.

All Uninsured Patients are eligible for discounts. The discount is similar to rates paid by commercial insurance payors and is offered to you under an Uninsured Discount Program.

You may qualify if your household income is below 200% of the federal poverty limit. To be considered for the financial assistance, you will be required to provide information on your household finances through a confidential Financial Application. Documentation will be requested to verify your circumstances in order to determine eligibility. Please contact EES at (800) 374-4637 for additional information.
