Wiregrass Medical Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Wiregrass Medical Center? 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. Wiregrass publishes one eligibility level — household income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level — and sets the discount on a sliding scale, so it does not publish a separate free-care cutoff.
Discounted care: Discounted care may be available if your household income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level; the size of the discount is set on a sliding scale based on your income.
