Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph - Medical Center — Mosaic Life Care
Who it's for
Uninsured and underinsured residents of DeKalb County can apply for financial assistance (charity care) at Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph - Medical Center for emergency and medically necessary care. Discounts are based on household size and income compared with the Federal Poverty Level. DeKalb County has no in-county hospital; nearest are Mosaic Life Care at St. Joseph (~25 miles west of Maysville) and Cameron Regional Medical Center in Cameron on the county's eastern edge (https://www.cameronregional.org/financial-assistance, (816) 649-3326). Financial assistance page states eligibility for "Mosaic Life Care patients or guarantors with gross household income up to 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines." Apply at myMLC.com/myFinancialOptions, by calling (816) 271-4006, or in person at Enterprise Financial Counseling, 5325 Faraon Entrance 4, St. Joseph, or 2016 South Main, Maryville. NOTE: Mosaic Life Care's former domain mosaiclifecare.org no longer resolves (NXDOMAIN) and mosaiclifecare.com now redirects to an unrelated Canadian clinic; the live official site is mymlc.com.
Charity care is income-based and set by the hospital's financial assistance policy; the hospital makes the final award decision, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
