DISCOUNTS

If you do not have insurance, or your health insurance did not cover all your bill, you may qualify for a discount. A paper application along with supporting documentation may be required. There are two types of discounts:

1. If your bills are for an emergency or medically necessary care, then you may be able to get a 54% to 100% discount if you do not qualify for any state programs. The discount amount will depend on your household income.If you qualify, you will not pay more than 44% of total charges you owe for services beginning March 1, 2024. We update this amount each year. You have 240 days to apply for this once you receive a statement. If you do not qualify for financial assistance, you may contact the Patient Financial Service Department 508-473-1190 #8, to discuss other options that may be available such as a payment plan.

Discounts apply to your hospital bill only.
