How to apply for Angel Medical Center — Financial Assistance / Charity Care (Macon County)
Angel Medical Center (Mission Health, part of HCA Healthcare), a critical-access hospital in Franklin, NC.
Who it's for
Angel Medical Center in Franklin is the hospital for Macon County and offers financial assistance to patients who cannot afford their care. Uninsured patients receive an automatic uninsured discount, and Mission Health's charity-care policy can write off emergency-care charges for qualifying low-income patients, with added relief for moderate-income families. A financial counselor helps with the application. Visit the financial assistance page or ask hospital registration to apply.
Financial assistance is income-based and decided case by case. Mission Health/HCA charity care generally writes off emergency-care charges for patients under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, with expanded relief between 200% and 400% FPL; an uninsured discount applies separately. Confirm exact thresholds and covered services with the hospital.
