Burgess Health Center

Who it's for

Burgess Health Center in Onawa has a Financial Assistance Program that lowers prices on office visits and services at Burgess Health Center and Burgess Clinics for people who qualify. It is based on family income. You may qualify with or without insurance, and even if you have Medicare or Medicaid. Specialists who bill separately are not included. To apply, turn in a completed Financial Assistance application (ask at any front desk or print one), a copy of the front page of your latest income tax return or three months of pay stubs for each working family member, and your recent Medicaid application if you have one. Call 712-423-2311.

Financial assistance is set by the hospital's own policy, and the hospital makes the final decision. Apply for Medicaid or other coverage first if the hospital asks.
