Medical Financial Assistance

You may be eligible for Riverside’s Financial Assistance Program for uninsured patients. You may also be eligible for public or private assistance programs. Riverside's Financial Counselors will help you apply for those programs.   The Financial Assistance Policy is for patients who are not able to pay for the emergency and medically necessary services they received from Riverside Health System.  This Financial Assistance Policy does not cover elective medical procedures. 

Help with your bill can be provided at any time during a visit or during the billing process. The amount you owe will be determined by reviewing your income and resources.  Financial assistance can be with part or all of your bill. You will provide paperwork about income, assets and other paperwork to see if you qualify for financial assistance.
