Financial Assistance

If payment of your healthcare expenses could create a financial hardship for you, you may qualify for charitable care, also referred to as charity care — the free or discounted medical care provided to low-income, uninsured or underinsured patients. Our Financial Assistance Program is designed to provide eligible patients with full or partial discounts on their bills for emergency or medically necessary healthcare. This is a summary of Concord Hospital’s Financial Assistance Policy and the financial assistance application process. Applications can be obtained online or by visiting or calling our Financial Counseling at (603) 227-7101 or (800) 562-1542.

Program Eligibility

• The program provides free care for those who have tried all other payment options (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, The Health Insurance Marketplace) and:
  • Have a household income at or below 225 percent of the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines;
  • Have submitted a properly completed financial assistance application along with the required documentation.

This reduction applies to uninsured and insured patients who owe balances after insurance payments have been made.

• The program also includes catastrophic assistance for uninsured patients with household income between 225 percent and 500 percent of the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines who have experienced a medical hardship and owe large medical bills.
• There are certain services not eligible for financial assistance, such as cosmetic services, reproductive medicine or elective non-covered services as specified by Medicare and other third-party coverage guidelines.
• No person eligible for financial assistance will be charged more for care than amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering emergency or other medically-necessary care.
