As part of our charitable mission, WellSpan Health is committed to providing exceptional care for all members of the communities we serve. We recognize some patients and families may need financial assistance to help with the cost of health care. As such, we offer financial assistance through our Financial Assistance Policy to ensure access to high-quality care for all.

Please note that all WellSpan Medical Group (employed) physicians and advanced practice clinicians participate in WellSpan's Financial Assistance programs.

How is eligibility determined?

In order to be eligible for free care or care at discounted rates, the patient and/or family must apply by completing a Financial Assistance Application.

Our decision to approve financial assistance will be based on a review of the individual’s or family’s income and assets. Proof of income—such as current pay stubs, Social Security, disability or other sources—is required. Additional information, such as copies of tax returns and/or bank statements, may be requested and may affect the decision.

The Federal Poverty Guidelines, which are updated annually, are used to determine eligibility. For those eligible, we offer discounts ranging from 20 percent to 100 percent for WellSpan-provided services. WellSpan is committed to charging no more than the average of those amounts that are generally billed to patients in our communities who are eligible for financial assistance.

Please note that prior to being granted financial assistance you will be asked to exhaust all other insurances for which you are eligible, including private insurance and Pennsylvania’s Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program. If you are eligible, you must apply for a qualified health plan under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or show rejection or exemption from such a plan. Failure to apply for coverage under the ACA will result in exemption from financial assistance.

If you're found to be eligible for assistance under WellSpan's Financial Assistance Policy, your eligibility will be maintained for one year from the date of determination. Financial assistance may not be available if you live outside of WellSpan Health’s primary service areas.
