FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY

MRH is committed to helping our patients

Marlette Regional Hospital is committed to providing health care services to patients who are unable to pay for such care. You may be eligible for financial assistance if you are not insured, underinsured, or do not qualify for governmental assistance such as Medicare or Medicaid.

The following content provides a summary of Marlette Regional Hospital’s Financial Assistance Policy (FAP). To download a copy of the FAP Plain Language Summary, click here.

Financial Assistance

Eligibility for financial assistance is based on multiple factors including insurance coverage and other sources of payment and income. Federal Poverty Level guidelines are used to determine potential financial assistance offered.

Financial assistance is offered to patients who are uninsured, underinsured, as well as those experiencing temporary financial hardship. Partial or full financial assistance may be granted based on a patient’s ability to pay the billed charges.

Patients must comply with the application process, as well as complete the application process for all available sources of assistance, including Medicare or Medicaid assistance.

Financial assistance is generally determined by the completion of a short application, providing family income supporting documents, and applying for and receiving a determination for Medicaid coverage. If you have sufficient insurance coverage or assets available to pay for your care, you may not be eligible for financial assistance. Please refer to the full policy for a complete explanation and details by clicking here.
