How to apply for McKenzie Health System Financial Assistance (Sanilac County)
McKenzie Health System
Who it's for
McKenzie Health System in Sandusky offers financial assistance (charity care) for emergency, non-elective hospital care and medically necessary outpatient testing to uninsured and underinsured patients whose family income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, with a sliding-fee discount based on family size and income. No one is refused emergency care for inability to pay. Call the Patient Accounting Clerk at 810-648-6199 for an application, or the McKenzie social worker at 810-648-6181 for help applying.
Family income must not exceed 250% of the federal poverty level and family cash assets must be within program limits; there is a discounted/sliding fee schedule based on family size and income. Elective (scheduled) surgery and non-McKenzie charges are not covered. Patients who may qualify for Medicaid or Healthy Michigan must have applied within the last 6 months and been denied. The hospital makes the final determination. Not legal or financial advice.
