How to apply for Putnam Hospital Center (Nuvance Health) — Financial Assistance (Putnam County)

Who it's for

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 Hudson Valley seniors qualify for Medicaid and would access these hospitals through Medicaid rather than FAP.
