Financial Assistance
Health care can be costly. If you have
health insurance, it usually pays at least part of your medical costs. If you
don't have insurance or need help with costs that aren't covered, financial
assistance might be available. Certain government programs and nonprofit
organizations can help. You can also discuss concerns about paying your medical
bills with your health care provider, social worker or the business office of
your clinic or hospital.
