EvergreenHealth is committed to ensuring our patients get the hospital care they need regardless of ability to pay for that care.
Providing health care to those who cannot afford to pay is part of our mission and state law requires hospitals to provide free and discounted care to eligible patients.
You may qualify for free or discounted care based on family size and income, even if you have health insurance.
If you think you may have trouble paying for your health care, please talk with us. When possible, we encourage you to ask for financial help before receiving medical treatment.
Charity Care is a way to help low income individuals and families pay for medical services.
It is either free care or reduced-price care, depending on your income.
