What is mission health?

Mission Health is committed to responsible billing and collections. Our financial counselors work with patients to establish interest-free payment arrangements. Patients who make payments at the time of service for their estimated financial liability receive a 20% discount of the amount owed. These policies and resources reflect our desire to mitigate personal financial issues arising from our patients’ medical bills. But we can only act when we are aware, and thus encourage our patients to take responsibility for seeking assistance as soon as issues or questions arise.

What is expanded charity care?

The Expanded Charity Care Policy provides financial relief for emergent, non-elective services to families with annual household incomes between 200% and 400% of FPG. Under the Expanded Charity Policy, we cap patients’ out-of-pocket balances at 3%-4% of their annual income using a sliding scale. For example, a family of four with a household income of $100,000 would have their liability capped at $4,000. (We make both of these charity care policies available to all patients, regardless of their insurance coverage.)

What is PLP insurance?

The PLP program provides protection for patients with household incomes between 400% and 1,000% of FPG. The discounts under this program help patients who may find themselves with limited coverage, a high deductible or who may be out of network. Similar to the policies above, these discounts are need-based and calculated on a sliding scale based on the patient’s annual household income. The PLP further limits patient balances and may be combined with the charity or uninsured discount.

What is a charity care policy?

The Charity Care Policy provides a 100% write-off related to emergent, non-elective services for qualifying patients who are not eligible for state or federal assistance. Generally, patients with annual household incomes of less than 200% of FPG qualify for this program. Supporting documentation may be required to ensure proper qualification.

What is the preferred income documentation for Medicare?

Our benefit advisors offer screening and eligibility evaluation on-site at the facility, at one of our offices, or in a patient’s home, and will provide support throughout the application process.
