How to apply for Hospital Financial Assistance (Saint Luke's North Hospital - Barry Road) — Platte in Missouri
Saint Luke's North Hospital - Barry Road — Saint Luke's Health System (a member of BJC Health)
Who it's for
Uninsured and underinsured residents of Platte County can apply for financial assistance (charity care) at Saint Luke's North Hospital - Barry Road for emergency and medically necessary care. Discounts are based on household size and income compared with the Federal Poverty Level. 5830 NW Barry Road, Kansas City, MO 64154 (Platte County). 'Saint Luke's North Hospital' is named on the BJC financial-assistance page as one of the hospitals that offer BJC financial assistance: 'BJC wants to help patients who do not have health insurance or who need help paying their bills. Patients who meet certain criteria may qualify for BJC financial assistance.' The page links the Financial Assistance Policy, the Income and Discount Schedule, and the application; call 816-932-5678 or toll-free 888-581-9401. Income thresholds live in the linked Income and Discount Schedule PDF, not on the page itself.
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. Important: the policy does not cover physicians, surgeons, anaesthetists, pathologists, emergency physicians, radiologists or other providers who are not employed by Saint Luke's, so a separate bill from one of those doctors may still arrive in full. Ask which of your bills the assistance covers before you agree to a payment plan.
