How to apply for Hospital Financial Assistance (Cookeville Regional Medical Center) — Jackson County
Cookeville Regional Medical Center (Cookeville, Putnam County) — city-owned regional hospital
Who it's for
Jackson County has no in-county acute-care hospital; the nearest regional hospital is Cookeville Regional Medical Center in Cookeville (Putnam County), about 25 miles south. This city-owned hospital offers charity care and financial assistance to uninsured and underinsured patients who cannot pay in full and who meet the income criteria in its policy. Financial counselors can help start an application and explain the documents needed.
Charity care is income-based and set by the hospital's financial assistance policy; the hospital makes the final award decision, so this shows as a may-qualify result. Cookeville Regional is a nearby regional hospital because Jackson County has no hospital of its own.
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
