CHARITY CARE - U of M

If patients treated at this hospital have no insurance and are not eligible for any county or state programs (e.g. Medicaid, County Health Plan) and they meet financial criteria of low income, then they may be eligible for Charity Care. The Patient Accounts Office can assist with an application. Once the application is complete it can take a couple of weeks to find out if it is approved.

The program is called M-SUPPORT. The policy and procedure describing the program is available online.

A copy of the Charity Care application can be found on the shared social work drive: Go to AmbulatoryCare/AmbulatoryCareManual/Charity Care Screening 2006

This program covers inpatient care which includes discharge prescriptions.
