Fort HealthCare is proud to provide excellent, compassionate care for the people of our communities.
We understand that concern over a hospital bill should never get in the way of a patient receiving good health care. While we expect patients to contribute to the cost of their care, we do take into account each individual’s ability to pay. Our goal is to work with you to arrange a manageable payment plan. It is our commitment that no one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay. There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on household income and number of individuals in the household.
Self-Pay Discount
Potential Self Pay candidates are defined as:
- Patients who have no health insurance.
- Patients receiving services that are NOT covered by health insurance, or another state, government, liability or workers compensation program.
The Self-Pay Discount Policy applies to Fort HealthCare’s inpatient and outpatient services, including physician clinics and Pain Centers of Wisconsin (ASC).
- If the Fort HealthCare Business Services office determines that you meet the above criteria, the Self-Pay Discount will automatically be applied to your bill.
- The maximum discount given will be 68 percent.
- The Self-Pay Discount does NOT apply to predetermined fee arrangements such as the Cosmetic Surgery Package.
If you feel you should have qualified for the Self-Pay discount, please call and speak with one of our Patient Financial Counselors at (920) 568-4722.
Emergency Providers and Other Third-Party Entities
You may receive medical bills from other contracted providers and other third-party entities, such as Emergency Room/Urgent Care providers and independent laboratories and pathologists. You will receive a separate bill from these contracted providers and third-party entities for their services. Fort HealthCare is not responsible for the charges by these third parties, and you will be responsible for working directly with those providers/entities regarding their charges/bills.
