Assistance Offered and Eligibility
Patients who qualify for assistance receive 100% coverage through UCV Free Care for emergency and other medically necessary services. The necessity for medical treatment of any patient will be based on the clinical judgment of the health care provider without regard to the financial status of the patient. All patients will be treated for emergency medical conditions regardless of ability to pay or to qualify for financial assistance in accordance with federal and state law.
To be eligible for Financial Assistance, patients must qualify based on income as follows:
- Household annual income does not exceed 300% of the Federal Poverty guidelines, based upon family size.
Patients without insurance, and not eligible for UCV Free Care, will not be charged more than the amounts generally billed to patients who have insurance.
