How to apply for Hospital Financial Assistance (UT Medical Center — Jamestown ED) — Fentress County
The University of Tennessee Medical Center — Emergency Department, Jamestown (University Health System, Inc.)
Who it's for
The University of Tennessee Medical Center runs a freestanding emergency department in Jamestown, the Fentress County seat, that reopened emergency access after the county's hospital closed in 2019. Uninsured and underinsured patients can apply for the health system's financial assistance. Patients with household income up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level receive a 100% discount on emergency and medically necessary care, and those between 200% and 300% receive an 80% discount. Applications can be filed up to 240 days after the first billing statement.
Financial assistance is income-based and set by the University Health System policy; the health system makes the final award decision, so this shows as a may-qualify result. The Jamestown site is a freestanding emergency department, not a full inpatient hospital.
What you'll need
- Proof of household income (tax return, pay stubs, or benefit award letter)
- Proof of family/household size
- Proof of residency and identification
