Financial assistance
Financial assistance policy

• Geisinger hospitals and clinics are charitable organizations dedicated to providing care, regardless of ability to pay.
• Your financial circumstances will not affect the care you receive. All patients will be treated with respect and fairness.
• Assistance is available for medically necessary care. Patients may apply for financial assistance at any time – before, during or after their care.
• If you have no health insurance and/or limited financial resources, you may be eligible for free or discounted services.
• The amount of financial assistance you receive is determined by Geisinger’s financial assistance guidelines, which are explained in this brochure.
• Depending on the amount of your bill and your financial circumstances, minimum monthly payments as low as $25 may be accepted, with no interest charged.
• If you do not qualify for financial assistance but believe you have special circumstances, you can request that your case be reviewed by a Geisinger Business Service Coordinator.
• If you apply for financial assistance, you must provide us with all information necessary to apply for other financial resources that may be available to you, such as Medicaid or Medicare.
• You are responsible for applying for financial assistance. Geisinger Health System will make application materials easily available. To request an application, call (888) 800-8526.
