Other funds to provide financial assistance to patients are held by outside trustees and are also available. Additional funds may become available annually.
If you think you may be eligible for hospital funds, you may request an application from the Patient Financial Counselor at 203- 863-3013. After we receive your completed application, we will determine your eligibility within a reasonable time before your intended service, or within approximately 30 days. If you are denied hospital funds, you have the option to reapply.
The estimated total annual amount of free care available for all these funds is $600,000 ($300,000 from hospital bed funds and from other charitable funds held by the hospital and $300,000 from funds held by outside trustees.)
You may also qualify for other kinds of financial assistance such as Medicaid. If you are a resident of the Town of Greenwich, you may be qualified to become a member of the hospital’s Outpatient Clinic.
