Financial Assistance Information

Mount Sinai Medical Center will provide care for emergency medical conditions and medically necessary services to individuals despite their ability to pay or their eligibility for financial or government assistance regardless of age, gender, race, social, sexual orientation or religious affiliation.

Mount Sinai Medical Center provides financial assistance to eligible persons who have healthcare needs and are uninsured, ineligible for a government program, and otherwise unable to pay for medically necessary care or emergency medical conditions based on their individual financial situation. Patients who qualify for financial assistance under the Medical Center’s Financial Assistance Policy will be given an automatic reduction of gross charges and may not be charged more than the amount generally billed (AGB) for emergency or other medically necessary care.

Financial need is determined based on an individual assessment which includes, but is not limited to: an application process, the use of external publicly available data sources, reasonable efforts by Mount Sinai Medical Center to explore appropriate alternative sources of payment and coverage from both public and private programs, the patient’s available assets, and all other financial resources available to the patient, and a review of the patient’s outstanding accounts receivable for prior services rendered and the patient’s payment history. Please see links below to obtain copy of the financial assistance application.

The patient, or the patient’s guarantor, may be asked to supply relevant personal, financial, and/or documentation as part of the application process for financial assistance. Mount Sinai Medical Center may also consider whether a patient is eligible for presumptive financial assistance. To inquire about applying for financial assistance, please call Customer Service at 305-674-2130, Monday-Friday, from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Patients may be eligible for charity/uncompensated care classification if the patient’s aggregate family income, during the 12 months preceding the determination date, is at or below 200% of the then current Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) applies to all emergency and medically necessary care provided by the hospital facility itself and its employed physician groups. A list of which providers are covered and are not covered is included in the full policy.

Free information regarding financial assistance is provided in the primary languages spoken by the population serviced by Mount Sinai Medical Center. Translation services are utilized as needed. Patients may request a copy or a translated copy of this summary, the Financial Assistance Policy, and/or the FAP application in patient care areas or from financial counseling departments, or by calling Customer Service at 305.674.2130.
