Financial Assistance
Financial support for eligible patients and families.
Girard Medical Center understands that healthcare expenses can sometimes create financial hardship for patients and their families. Financial assistance may be available for patients who qualify based on income and other eligibility requirements.
Applications for financial assistance are available through the Patient Financial Services Department or by using the links below. Supporting documentation, including income tax returns, recent pay stubs, and proof of Medicaid denial when applicable, may be required before assistance can be approved.

No Surprises Billing
Girard Medical Center is committed to helping patients understand their healthcare costs and the protections available to them under federal law. The No Surprises Act was created to protect patients from certain unexpected medical bills and to provide greater transparency regarding healthcare pricing and services.
Depending on your insurance coverage and the services you receive, you may have rights related to out-of-network providers, emergency services, and Good Faith Estimates for uninsured or self-pay patients.
Please review the resources below for additional information regarding your rights and protections under the No Surprises Act.
