Financial Counseling
St. John's Episcopal Hospital is a not-for-profit hospital whose mission is to
render medical care to all persons in need of urgent or emergency medical care
regardless of their ability to pay or their source of payment for services.
We have a policy for our billing office to follow that sets guidelines for
levels of assistance dependent upon the financial situation.
If your health insurance coverage benefits do not adequately
cover your medical expenses, we can work with you to arrange
a manageable payment plan. A representative will meet with
you to review your individual financial situation to determine
if you qualify for financial assistance, either in the form
of government assistance, an individual payment plan or for
Charity Care.
It is important to let us know as soon as possible that you
may have trouble paying your bill. We urge you to arrange
a meeting with our Financial Screening Department. Please
call 516-349-2902 to arrange a meeting or stop by the Finance
Department located in Room CP156, first floor, during normal
business hours (7:30 am to 3:30 pm). You may also speak about
the financial assistance plan with the staff where you are
seeking care.
