Savings and property

The policy counts savings or property, not only income.

If you have insurance

Insured patients can also apply for help with deductibles and copays. Keep your insurance. Financial assistance covers bills from this one place only.

What is covered

Covered

Emergency, urgent and other medically necessary care at the hospital, including its inpatient and outpatient departments and clinics. Both uninsured and insured patients can apply, and help can go toward deductibles, coinsurance and copays.

Not covered

Cosmetic, experimental or research care and care for convenience are not covered. Doctors and groups that are not Providence employees bill separately and may not accept Providence financial assistance. Ask for the provider list.

Notes

Help can cover what is left after insurance, like deductibles and copays. Apply within 240 days of the first bill after you leave the hospital, though the hospital may accept later applications. Uninsured patients get a discount even above these income levels. People on Medicaid, SNAP, Denali KidCare, WIC or similar programs may be approved without a full application. Assets are looked at, but the first $100,000 in savings, your home, retirement accounts and one car are not counted. Payment plans have no interest and are capped at 10% of monthly income after living costs. A denial can be appealed within 30 days.
