Since 1920, Baptist Health has provided patient-centered services with Christian compassion and personal concern. Consistent with our mission, Baptist Health offers financial assistance to eligible patients. Baptist Health will provide emergency or medically necessary care to individuals regardless of their ability to pay.  Patients without insurance (who do not qualify for any third party or government health benefits) will receive an automatic discount of 74% off their Hospital billed charges only.  This discount will be taken before a patient’s billing statement is sent. Questions about the uninsured discount should be directed to Patient Financial Services at (501) 202-3900. For insured or non-insured, additional financial assistance discounts are available on a sliding scale based upon income levels of the current Federal Income Poverty Guidelines. Up to 100% of billed charges may be provided based on completion and evaluation of an Application for Financial Assistance, with required supporting documentation. Financial need does not consider age, gender, race, social or immigrant status, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.  ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Baptist Health will perform an assessment of medical necessity and financial ability, and based on the assessment results, may provide free or discounted care to patients who qualify for financial assistance under this policy.
