As your community health care system, Regional Health is committed to offering care to
everyone in our community. If you feel you are unable to afford hospital care, help may be
available through our Financial Assistance Programs.
What are the Financial Assistance Programs?
These programs are designed to assist patients who are either financially or medically
indigent. The programs, depending upon your financial circumstances, may result in your
having no obligation to pay for services provided, or may result in a discount of the
charges billed to you.
New Uninsured Discount: All uninsured patients will be given a 10%
discount on their hospital bill.
New Prompt-pay Discount: All patients who pay in full the self-pay
portion of their hospital bill within 30 days of being notified of that self-pay obligation
will receive a 20% discount on the self-pay portion of their bill.
New Patient Medical Credit Line: For those patients who cannot pay the self-pay
balance within 90 days, we have contracted with Medical Credit Resources to offer a Patient
Medical Credit Line.
Who is eligible for Regional Health's Financial Assistance Programs?
Depending upon your financial circumstances you may be asked to provide financial information
regarding your income. Your financial assets and liabilities may also be considered when
determining your ability to pay. Regional Health also uses income limits issued by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development to determine a person's eligibility for financial
assistance. For more information about our Financial Assistance Programs, please call Patient
Financial Services at 719-7840.
Are all services covered?
Only medically necessary care is covered on Regional Health's Financial Assistance Program. A
list of excluded services is available upon request.
