Christian Care Financial Assistance

The Mission of Christian Care

St. Anthony’s offers the Christian Care Financial Assistance Program for those with limited financial resources. St. Anthony’s is a Christian-based facility that provides medical care regardless of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, handicap, age, or the ability to pay. We respect the medical needs of all people who come to our doors and the financial concerns of those with limited resources.

St. Anthony’s understands that patients with limited financial resources have the obligation and willingness to pay, but not always the ability to pay.

About Christian Care Financial Assistance

St. Anthony’s offers the Christian Care Financial Assistance program to all patients who show financial need. St. Anthony’s has designated funds to aid patients who are unable to pay their obligation in full. Eligibility requirements have been set for those who request Christian Care. The guidelines are not meant to discourage anyone from seeking treatment. But they are designed to ensure the hospital’s resources are used for the people who need them most and who are the least able to pay.

Applying for Christian Care Financial Assistance

We want to assist you in finding the best possible solution for you and your family. Before applying to the Christian Care Financial Assistance program, a St. Anthony’s Patient Account Representative will first help you explore all possible options for financial assistance.

Patients must then request and complete a Request for Christian Care Financial Assistance form. Along with the form, you must also provide the following financial information:

  1. Income for the past 12 months and information about possible future income. Documentation of income shall include current year tax forms and copies of 3 recent paycheck stubs.
  2. Financial statements identifying all assets and liabilities.
  3. Documentation that all other alternative sources for assistance have been pursued, including private insurance and public aid where appropriate.

Your Patient Account Representative can help you complete the form.

Eligibility Guidelines

Income guidelines for eligibility are adjusted annually based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services and published periodically in the Federal Register.

These guidelines are subject to change without notice.

If you have any questions or concerns about your billing statement or you require financial assistance, please contact our Business Office.
