Financial Assistance Options
At Garnet Health, our goal is to provide quality care and services to our patients. We seek to provide healthcare to everyone regardless of ability to pay. Patients will not be denied access to services due to inability to pay; there is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. We provide patients with the opportunity to qualify for our Financial Aid Program, whether you are uninsured or underinsured.
- We provide a self-pay discount for uninsured patients. We automatically reduce charges for all uninsured patients for medically necessary services.
- Please note: Only medically necessary services provided by a Garnet Health provider are covered by the discount. This includes outpatient services, emergency care, inpatient admissions, and physician services.
- Garnet Health will not charge patients eligible for its Charity Care program more than amounts generally billed (AGB), to individuals who have insurance for emergency or other medically necessary care. For all other care, an eligible individual may not be charged more than the Hospital’s gross charges. The Hospital calculates the AGB using the lookback method, and bases that rate on Traditional Medicare fee-for-service and all private health insurers paying claims to the hospitals.
- We apply patients for Medicaid, if qualified, based on Department of Social Services guidelines.
- Our Financial Aid Program, based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines, is available to all patients who qualify. Patients with income up to 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may be eligible to receive assistance with their bill based on our fee schedule.
- Patients who cannot pay their entire bill immediately can request a monthly payment arrangement.
