If you do not have health insurance or you are unable to pay your hospital bill, you may qualify for Medical Assistance, Medicare or Charity Care. Charity Care may cover your inpatient and/or outpatient hospital related charges partially or in full. Applicant(s) for Charity Care must agree to complete the application for uncompensated care and assist hospital staff by furnishing information required to complete the Charity Care application.

If you have Medicare or health insurance, the Charity Care program will not pay for any amounts that are covered by those insurers. Applicant(s) will be expected to exhaust all other payment sources as a condition for approval. For example, you might be eligible for Medicaid or Medicare. Therefore, you will be required to apply for those programs before seeking Charity Care.
