Financial Assistance

Memorial Hospital provides patient care to a growing number of uninsured and underinsured patients. Patients are responsible for a greater burden of their healthcare costs through growing out-of-pocket deductibles that many health insurance plans, including Medicare, have implemented. And many patients lack the financial resources to secure health insurance. Accordingly, Memorial Hospital has developed financial policies to seek fair and equitable payment from patients based on their ability to pay. At the same time, Memorial Hospital assists patients who cannot reasonably pay for some or all of the care they receive.
