How to apply for United Health Services (UHS) — Wilson Memorial + Binghamton General — Financial Assistance (Broome County)

Who it's for

Broome County's principal community hospital safety net is UHS Wilson Memorial Hospital (Johnson City) and UHS Binghamton General Hospital (Binghamton) — Broome's principal community hospitals; Lourdes Hospital (Binghamton, Ascension Health) is the major Catholic alternative; tertiary referrals route to UHS, Guthrie (Sayre PA), or URMC Strong. The Financial Assistance Program covers uninsured/underinsured residents — sliding scale typically discounts charges up to 100% at the lower income brackets with reduced rates above. Note: NY Medicaid ABD's ~138% FPL gate means many Southern Tier seniors qualify for Medicaid and would access these hospitals through Medicaid rather than FAP. Apply at the hospital's financial counseling office or at https://www.nyuhs.org/patients-visitors/billing-financial-assistance/. Phone: 607-763-6000.
