Giving to those in need
Parkview Medical Center is a trusted place for healthcare. The Medical Center provides a significant amount of uncompensated care below cost and at no cost to patients in need. Charity care, in 2006, exceeded $30 million and $28 million in 2007. Parkview is on pace to exceed $38 million in 2008. In order to help those in need, Parkview also has a discount policy that applies to the poor, uninsured and underinsured. In determining the discount, the Medical Center considers the availability of health insurance, family income, other coverage options, and health status. Our credit department works with individuals to find solutions that work for patients and their families. We believe people are accountable and need to be responsible for their actions and contribute to their care and well-being. We also understand the need for charity care and the place it holds in our mission. |
