Charity Care
Phelps is dedicated to improving the health of the community it serves. In 2004, the hospital provided more than $7.9 million in charity care and pro-bono community service such as free health screenings and educational programs.
The hospital understands that sometimes patients do not have the financial resources or insurance coverage to pay for hospital care. Phelps will make available a reasonable amount of uncompensated services to persons who are determined to be eligible in accordance with hospital policy. Specifically, patients whose family income is not more than the current federal Income Poverty Guidelines are eligible for charity care. When income is greater than the guidelines, a patient may still qualify for reduced fees.
