Charity care
At Neosho Memorial REgional Medical Center (NMRMC), we believe all people should receive the medical care they need whether or not they can pay. If you cannot pay your medical expenses, you may qualify for our charity care program.
What if I can't pay my hospital bill?
If you don't have health insurance (or if your insurance doesn't cover all your medical expenses), please let us know. We believe all people should get medical care whether or not they can pay.
How do I apply for charity care?
Call 620.432.5472 and ask for an application. We can answer your questions and help you fill out your application. We also can help you apply for public health care programs.
How does the hospital decide if I qualify?
We look at your family's income and how many people are in your family. We will not look at your age, sex, sexual orientation, race, beliefs or disabilities.
What happens if I qualify?
If your episode of care qualifies, NMRMC will forgive all or a portion of your financial obligation for this visit based on a sliding scale.
How do I know if I qualify?
We will mail you a letter within 10 business days after getting your application. Or we may ask you for more information.
How do I know if I do not qualify?
We will mail you a letter explaining that you do not qualify.
What are my options if I don't qualify?
You can:
- Appeal—Fill out the appeal form you get with the denial letter, and we will tell you our decision within 10 business days.
- Apply again—If your income has changed, you may qualify.
- Ask the hospital to let you make payments.
