Talk to a Counselor
Financial counselors are part of the Patient Access Services team and dedicated to helping patients and physicians determine sources of reimbursement for hospital services.
Financial Counselors identify and assist patients who are unable to pay their estimated liability prior to treatments or to assist patients who have large existing balances. This assistance includes:
- Assessing a patient's liability
- Linking patients to available funding sources, such as Medi-Cal and Medicare
- Determining whether a patient is eligible for charity care or financial hardship treatment
What to Expect
Patients requesting payment plans or financial hardship consideration should be identified as early as possible in the registration/admission process so the necessary documentation, research, and approval can be completed before services are provided.
As a general policy, patients seeking elective/non-urgent services must have an identified financial source for covering the cost of care. This policy does not apply to persons who seek services in the Emergency Department until after the patient has been medically screened for an emergency medical condition and has either been determined not to have an emergency medical condition or provided with stabilizing treatment.
