What will I have to pay?
Until the Financial Assistance application and necessary documents are received, you will be expected to pay the full fee for your visits and related care.
If you qualify, you will be issued a Financial Assistance Card, which will clearly state your level of discount. Discount ranges fall into four categories. You must bring this card to your visit so your discount can be applied.
All discount ranges within the program include a nominal fee to be paid by the patient. This fee will be collected at the time of the visit. The Financial Assistance Card covers services provided through our prenatal program as well.
