How to apply for Mitchell County Hospital Financial Assistance — Mitchell County in Georgia
Archbold Medical Center — Mitchell County Hospital (Camilla)
Who it's for
Mitchell County Hospital (Archbold) in Camilla serves Mitchell County (Camilla). Archbold Medical Center's Financial Assistance Program covers all four Archbold hospitals (Memorial, Brooks, Grady, and Mitchell). Indigent or uninsured Georgia residents with household income below 200% of the federal poverty level get a complete write-off of charges through the Indigent Care Trust Fund program. Uninsured residents of Brooks, Grady, Mitchell, or Thomas County with income between 200% and 325% of the poverty level (and assets under $50,000, not counting the home) are charged no more than the amounts generally billed to insured patients. Apply within 240 days of the bill; Patient Financial Services (229-228-8840, 920 Cairo Rd., Thomasville) can help.
Mitchell County Hospital provides free or discounted (charity) care to lower-income, uninsured, and underinsured patients based on household income compared with the federal poverty level (complete write-off below 200% FPL for Georgia residents; amounts-generally-billed cap at 200-325% FPL for local-county residents with assets under $50,000), so this shows as a may-qualify result. Patient Financial Services (229-228-8840) can help you apply.
