How to apply for Tanner Health Financial Assistance — Heard County

Tanner Health System — Tanner Medical Center (Carrollton)

Who it's for

Heard County (Franklin) has no hospital of its own; residents most often use Tanner Medical Center in nearby Carrollton (Tanner Health System) or Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center in LaGrange. Tanner's financial assistance programs include a 60% discount on hospital bills for patients who have no insurance and aren't covered by Medicare or Medicaid, plus financial-hardship assistance and interest-free payment plans. Contact Tanner's Patient Financial Assistance team to apply.

Tanner offers a 60% discount for uninsured patients (not on Medicare/Medicaid), financial-hardship assistance, and payment plans; eligibility is reviewed individually, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Heard residents also use Wellstar West Georgia (LaGrange).

What you'll need

  • Proof of household income (pay stubs, Social Security award letter, tax return)
  • Proof of family size and Heard County residency
  • Completed Tanner financial assistance application
