Eligibility and Assistance

Once you have utilized all other payment options (e.g., insurance coverage, health spending accounts, governmental assistance programs, etc.), you may be eligible for financial assistance under Baptist Health’s Financial Assistance Policy.

Here are the levels of discounts available for eligible patients during each calendar year:

Uninsured or Underinsured Discount
If you are uninsured or your insurance does not allow emergency or medically necessary care provided by a Baptist Health hospital, then you may be allowed a discount that limits your payment responsibility to the amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering such care.

Full Assistance (100%) 
If your family income is less than or equal to 300% of the federal poverty level, then you may be eligible for full assistance.

Partial Assistance (50%)
If your family income is between 301% and 400% of the federal poverty level, then you may be eligible for partial assistance.
