Financial Assistance Policy
Pioneer Memorial Hospital & Health Services has an extensive Financial Assistance Policy where emergency and other medically necessary services may be forgiven based upon financial need. We will figure out how much you owe by looking at things like your income or other resources. To qualify for financial assistance, your household income must be at or below 350 percent of the federal poverty level. This assistance can range from a reduction in the amount of the balance outstanding up to complete forgiveness of the balance outstanding. The right to apply for financial assistance consideration begins on the date of service and extends through the 240th day after the first billing statement is sent to the patient or guarantor. However, patients and guarantors are encouraged to submit their Financial Assistance Application as soon as possible.
