            How do I Apply for Financial Assistance?

            MMC encourages patients to apply for financial assistance if they believe that they are unable to pay their MMC bill.

            To apply:

            1. Complete the Meadville Medical Center Financial Assistance Application form
            2. Attach supporting documents, listed on the application, to prove your income and resources
            3. Mail your completed application and necessary documents to:

            Meadville Medical Center
            CBO Mail Processing Center
            1643 Lewis Avenue, Suite 203
            Billings, MT 59102

            Determination of Eligibility for Financial Assistance

            To request financial assistance, patients submit the MMC Financial Assistance Application form, disclosing household income and resources. Applicants are treated with dignity and respect throughout the process. All information is handled with confidentiality. The patient’s cooperation in providing MMC with necessary information is imperative to the process.

            Typically, a patient is not eligible for MMC Financial Assistance until he or she has applied for and been deemed ineligible for Federal and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania governmental assistance programs. MMC has Financial Counselors available to assist patients in applying for Pennsylvania State Medicaid.

            MMC reserves the right to process the Financial Assistance Application without this determination, provided enough information is available to make an accurate assessment of the patient’s financial situation.

            Determination of Assistance

            In determining a reasonable and fair level of assistance, MMC applies a sliding scale:

            If a patient’s household income is below 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines: With completion and approval of a MMC Financial Assistance Application - The patient will receive 100% financial assistance after the first $200.00 of billed charges
