Who it's for
Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan does not deny anyone medically necessary services because they cannot pay, and it has a discounted, sliding fee schedule based on family size and income. Emergency care is never delayed or withheld because of ability to pay. You may qualify if you have limited or no health insurance, are not eligible for government assistance, can show financial need, live in Myrtue's primary service area, give household financial information, and have medical bills greater than you can pay under Myrtue's guidelines. Download the Financial Assistance Application, or call the Patient Financial Advocates at 712-340-1270.
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.
