Financial Assistance

Spirit of Caring

CommonSpirit Health understands that paying for emergency and/or medically necessary medical care can be difficult, particularly for patients who lack health insurance. As part of our ongoing commitment to our patients, CommonSpirit works hard to help our patients address their financial responsibilities in a way that is fair and sensitive to their circumstances. We have instituted a program designed specifically to help those who find themselves in financial distress.

The Program

The CommonSpirit Health Financial Assistance Policy (available in multiple languages) applies to uninsured/underinsured patients who come to our facilities for treatment. This policy provides financial relief to patients who qualify based on a comparison of their financial resources and/or income to Federal Poverty Guidelines. The program is designed specifically for emergency and/or medically necessary care whose household financial resources and/or income are at or below 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.

To qualify for any assistance, uninsured/underinsured patients will be asked to complete a Financial Assistance Application (available in multiple languages) which includes information relating to household income and expenses. If you qualify for partial support from CommonSpirit Health, learn the amounts generally billed/reimbursed for services at CommonSpirit Health hospitals, here:

Amount Generally Billed

We are committed to working with our patients to establish an appropriate payment plan based on the amount due and the patient’s financial status.

No Surprises Act

The No Surprises Act protects consumers who get coverage through their employer (including a federal, state, or local government), through the Health Insurance Marketplace® or directly through an individual health plan – click here for more information

Billing and Insurance

Based on your care and who provided it, your hospital visit will consist of separate bills from:

  • CHI St. Joseph’s Health
  • Your physician, surgeon or other provider
  • Radiologist and/or pathologist if your care required those services
  • Anesthesia Care Team if your care required anesthesia

Medicaid Renewal

If you currently receive health insurance through Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you must renew your benefits this year to maintain health insurance coverage. Learn more on how to renew.

Self-paying (uninsured) accounts

Payment is requested prior to or at the time your outpatient or inpatient services are provided. If payment arrangements are not made at discharge, or the day services are rendered, receipt of your first billing requires payment in full.

For questions about self-pay discounts or to make payment arrangements, please call 1.877.721.6504.

Co-pays and/or deductibles

For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Known co-pays and/or deductibles are required at the time of service.

As a courtesy for our patients, claims are submitted shortly after hospital services are completed.

The patient is ultimately responsible for their hospital bill. If insurance carriers do not make payment within 60 days following the date insurance is filed, the account becomes the patient’s responsibility and payment in full will be required.

For questions about your billing and payment, please call 1.877.721.6504.
