It is Saint Agnes Medical Center's policy to address the need for financial assistance, discount payment eligibility and payment plan options in support of patients for emergency and medically-necessary services provided under applicate state or federal law.

Eligibility for financial assistance, discount payment eligibility, and support from Saint Agnes is determined on an individual basis using detailed criteria along with evaluation and assessment of the patient's and/or family's health care needs, financial resources and obligations.

  • All medically-necessary care and emergency medical care for:
    • Self-pay patients who apply for and are determined to be eligible for Financial Assistance and discounty payment eligibility, and
    • Patients presumptively eligible for financial assistance and discount payment eligibility
