Financial Counseling
It is the philosophy and policy of Day Kimball Hospital that medically necessary health care services should be available to all individuals regardless of their ability to pay.
Day Kimball Hospital is proud to offer financial assistance to patients who:
- Do not have insurance coverage and do not qualify for State Medicaid assistance
- Are insured but have financial hardship in meeting their remaining account balances
This program offers discounts on a sliding scale basis to patients with family income levels up to 400 times the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines as outlined below:
