Financial assistance
Northwestern Medical Center provides financial assistance programs to community member patients who cannot pay for all or part of the care they receive.
Financial assistance is available to all individuals who receive emergent care, and to individuals with a primary residence in Vermont (people who live in Vermont for longer than six months a year), who meet certain income and asset guidelines. Patients requesting financial assistance are required to complete an application and provide various financial information, including proof of income.
Patients will be notified in writing as to their approval status within 30 days of receipt of a complete application. It is expected that as part of the financial assistance approval process, patients will cooperate in applying for Medicaid or other health and welfare programs as appropriate. Individuals eligible for financial assistance cannot be charged more than the amounts generally billed (AGB) for emergency or other medically-necessary care.
