Financial Assistance Information
If you have medical bills because you did not have insurance, you may qualify for financial assistance. A paper application along with supporting documentation is required.
Important: Many health care bills are for co-payments, co-insurance, or deductibles that are required as part of your health insurance. Those bills are not eligible for financial assistance.
