BILLING ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance

Carondelet Health Network, a non-profit health care organization offers a Financial Assistance program for patients who require hospitalization or receive care in our emergency rooms.
Carondelet Health Network, Patient Financial Services (PFS) representatives make every effort to identify patients who may qualify for financial assistance at the earliest possible point in the registration/accounting process. This is done in a confidential manner that respects the privacy and dignity to the patient and his or his family.

Financial Assistance Program:

Financial assistance is available to all individuals in need. A patient’s level of financial assistance is established after completing a financial packet, which includes a financial statement, current pay stubs, monthly expenses and other pertinent information. The information is evaluated using Federal poverty guidelines and the patient’s individual financial situation. If a patient disagrees with the financial assistance determination, he or she can ask for a review by the Carondelet Health Network Financial Panel.

For assistance our Financial Counselors are available at each of our facilities:
 

Self Pay Discount

Carondelet recognizes that all patients may not have health insurance and are “self-pay.” A 30% discount on the hospital bill is provided to any patient who does not have health insurance and does not qualify for the Financial Assistance Program.
