Uninsured Discount Policy
Respecting the dignity of all
Serious injury or illness can put a financial strain on any family. But persons who lack insurance or government-sponsored health benefits face additional burdens. Through our Uninsured Discount Policy, St. Elizabeth’s seeks to lessen that burden, while ensuring that our billing and collection processes respect the dignity of all patients.
The policy calls for a discount to be applied uniformly to all uninsured patient accounts prior to billing. In support of the hospital’s mission of caring for the poor, sick and afflicted regardless of race, color, creed, or financial status an uninsured discount policy has been developed to ensure that all billing and collection processes respect the dignity of all patients including those who are uninsured. Through this policy the hospital strives to continue each patient’s compassionate care through the billing and collection process for those patient’s lacking insurance or government sponsored health benefits.
