Financial Assistance Policy
If Marion Surgery Center believes that you have health insurance and/or HMO coverage(s) that may cover some or all of the Services, Marion Surgery Center may initiate contact with them to determine your cost-sharing responsibilities for Marion Surgery Center’s bill. You may contact them directly as well for additional information concerning your cost-sharing responsibilities. If Marion Surgery Center determines that you have cost-sharing responsibilities for Marion Surgery Center’s bill, in accordance with Marion Surgery Center’s financial assistance policies, you will be required to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided. Marion Surgery Center’s financial assistance policies are that if you are unable to pay your cost-sharing responsibilities in full on or before the date that Services are provided, because you believe you are medically indigent or you are not covered by any health insurance or HMO, then upon request Marion Surgery Center, in its sole discretion, may offer you a discount on the amount due and/or offer a payment plan. Any such discount is considered by Marion Surgery Center to be “charity care.” There is no formal application process for obtaining “charity care” at Marion Surgery Center. Marion Surgery Center’s standard collection policy is to produce and send one or more bills to patients for their cost sharing amount.
