Braxton County Memorial Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care

Can't afford a bill from Braxton County Memorial Hospital? You may not have to pay all of it. Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance — here are this hospital's actual income limits and how to apply, taken from its own published policy.

Quick facts

How to apply

1. Check the income limit — free care goes up to 200% of the federal poverty level, and you must not have substantial assets.
2. Apply for Medicaid first and be denied — a denied Medicaid application from the last 90 days is required with your application.
3. Download the WVU Medicine financial assistance application from the link above (or request it through MyWVUChart) and fill out every section with the required documents.
4. Mail the completed application and documents as instructed, or call 304-598-6260 to schedule an appointment with a financial counselor.

Good to know

• You can apply up to 240 days after your first bill — even if the bill already went to collections.
