How to apply for Lewis County Health System — Lewis County General Hospital — Financial Assistance (Lewis County)

Who it's for

Lewis County's principal community hospital safety net is Lewis County General Hospital (Lowville, Lewis County Health System) — Lewis's county-affiliated independent community hospital; tertiary referrals route to Samaritan Watertown (Jefferson) or MVHS Wynn Hospital (Utica). 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 North Country 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.lcgh.net/billing-insurance/financial-assistance. Phone: 315-376-5200.
