How to apply for Washington County Regional Medical Center Financial Assistance — Washington County in Georgia
Washington County Regional Medical Center (Sandersville)
Who it's for
Washington County Regional Medical Center in Sandersville runs a Charity Care Program for patients who cannot pay for non-elective care. Uninsured patients get charity care when gross family income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines; insured patients qualify at or below 200%. Patients above those limits whose bill is 25% or more of their yearly income can ask for a catastrophic charity adjustment. Charity care is secondary to Medicaid, insurance and other resources, so you must apply for those first. The policy and application are posted on the hospital's organizational and financial information page; call the hospital at 478-240-2000 and ask for a financial counselor.
WCRMC charity care covers non-elective care only, is secondary to Medicaid and insurance, and uses a 300% federal-poverty limit for uninsured patients but 200% for insured patients; this check screens at the higher limit, so this shows as a may-qualify result. The hospital makes the final determination after a completed application.
