At no cost to you, our staff walk through a series of questions designed to identify programs that may be able to assist with medical coverage. Some programs have time limits in which to apply. Call us today to see what options might be available.
Once the questions are completed and a program is identified, we work with you to gather any information and documentation required, as well as complete any applications necessary to get you the needed coverage.
If you already have insurance, please contact the billing department for additional assistance.
As a department working hard to find coverage available to our patients, we are proactively attempting contact. If you have already been a patient at the hospital, our staff may have already spoken with you. If not, our team will be reaching out soon to see how we can assist.
