Evergreen Healthcare is committed to extending financial assistance, free or reduced fee care, to qualifying individuals.
If payment of your health care expenses could create a financial hardship for you, our staff will work with you to apply for financial assistance.
Financial counseling is offered through our Patient Financial Services Department. Applications will be processed, and approval will be determined based on specific criteria. Information you provide is confidential and is only reviewed by staff processing your application. If approved, your financial obligation to Evergreen Healthcare will be reduced.
We will not discriminate in the determination of financial assistance eligibility on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or disability.
Who is eligible for financial assistance?
People and families with incomes within our income guidelines are eligible for charity care if they:
- Do not have the financial resources to pay for care; and
- Are not insured, that is covered by a group or individual medical plan, worker’s compensation, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other state, federal, or military program; and
- Are not involved in a situation where someone else has a legal responsibility to pay for the costs of medical services -- for example, an auto accident.
What does financial assistance cover?
It covers necessary or emergency hospital care, and services provided by other Evergreen entities. It covers inpatient and outpatient hospital care.
It does not cover transportation costs or elective procedures, and usually does not cover doctors services.
