Memorial Hospital For Cancer And Allied Diseases: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Memorial Hospital For Cancer And Allied Diseases? 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
Free care: Not published — call the billing department to ask. MSK does not publish a fixed income cutoff for free care. If you qualify for the Financial Assistance Program (household income up to 5 times the federal poverty level), your care may be free if you cannot afford to pay anything — MSK figures out what you can afford to pay, if anything.
Discounted care: If your household income is up to 5 times the federal poverty level and you cannot get public health insurance or afford your care, MSK can lower your hospital and doctor bills — you pay only what you can afford.
