Financial Assistance
FOR UNINSURED PERSONS OR FAMILIES
If you do not have health insurance, or struggle to pay for services not covered by your insurance, you may be able to get a discount for clinical services. Your bills for insurance co-payments and deductibles are not eligible for this program. You may apply for a discount if you are uninsured or are receiving services not covered by insurance.
- You can apply for Financial Assistance when you register as a new client or at any time when receiving services from West Central.
- You will be responsible for the payment of any services you receive before your financial assistance application is approved.
- You must also apply for Medicaid benefits and provide proof that you have applied.
Also, you must update your application every six months.
