Atlantic General Hospital Holds Enroll Delmarva Day
03-26-2013
On April 11, Atlantic General Hospital will hold Enroll Delmarva Day, a
day its patient financial services department has dedicated to assisting
the community with health insurance coverage. During this event, uninsured
Marylanders can learn more about available health care coverage options
and receive guidance in filling out plan applications. Atlantic General
will have financial counselors on hand to answer questions and assist
with the forms.
“As part of our ongoing assistance to our community, financial counselors
are always available to assist our patients in need,” said Mickey
Griffin, director of patient financial services at Atlantic General. “The
enrollment event serves to increase the visibility of our financial counseling
services, and we encourage the community to take advantage of this opportunity.”
Atlantic General Hospital’s financial counseling staff will be joined
by representatives from Priority Partners, the Worcester County Health
Department, and Worcester County Social Services who can address any specific
questions or concerns about their programs.
AGH financial assistance applications will also be available for those
who qualify. It is the policy of Atlantic General Hospital/Health System
to provide medically necessary services at no charge or at a reduced cost
to all eligible individuals who are unable to pay according to the hospital’s
guidelines.
If you or one of your dependents has qualified for PAC (Primary Adult
Care), free or reduced school lunches, energy assistance, the Food Stamp
program, or WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants
& Children) and you have an outstanding balance in good standing at
Atlantic General Hospital that you cannot afford to pay, you may qualify
for the hospital’s Financial Assistance program.
Financial assistance is available to all qualifying patients without discrimination
on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, gender, religion or creed.
Those who may be eligible for State Medical Assistance need to apply to
the state before being considered for Atlantic General’s financial
assistance program.
Living without health insurance is a risk no one should have to take.
Please attend April 11 to learn more. For questions prior to Enroll Delmarva
Day, please call 410-629-6026.
