For that program, last year we helped 365 people and provided $1.3 million in assistance. We also use facilitated enrollers. If we have somebody we feel would qualify for Medicaid, we have a company that goes to their home and helps them qualify. |
The higher the balance, the longer we'll let you go. We try to keep it within three years, but we'll work with people. |
We are required to provide all medically necessary services regardless of ability to pay. We would never take somebody's house. |
We try to make sure our front line people who work with our patients are familiar with the guidelines and who will qualify. It's kind of like going to college and applying for financial aid. It's there if you qualify. |
