As you face hospitalization, tests or procedures, it is important that you understand our Financial Assistance Policy in case you have concerns about paying for your medical care. Based on your eligibility and income level, Wamego City Hospital may discount your entire bill or a portion of your bill and will help you make payment arrangements for any remaining balance due.
Eligibility
• Based on income level for persons who do not have private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. • Extends to individuals who face financial hardships paying outstanding balances that are the patient's responsibility. • Applies to all services except elective procedures (such as cosmetic, nonacute services).
