Financial Assistance
At UHS we believe that a fear of a hospital bill should never be a reason to avoid seeking necessary medical care. If you have concerns about paying your hospital or provider bill, UHS' financial assistance program can help. Discounts are based on family size and income ONLY. No person, regardless of ability to pay, will be refused medical services in accordance with the Internal Revenue Services 501(R)(4) Regulation.
