Patient Financial Services & Price Transparency
As a part of our commitment to ensuring access to high quality medical care to all members of our community, Chicot Memorial Medical Center will provide both medically necessary services, and emergency medical care to all patients experiencing an emergency, regardless of their insurance status and ability to pay. No one will be denied access to care based on the inability to pay.
Chicot Memorial Medical Center offers a variety of financial services including Financial Assistance Program and Prompt Pay Discounts. These are just a few options available to provide affordable Healthcare. For assistance or questions feel free to call 870-265-9200.
Financial Assistance Program- The Financial Assistance Program identifies patients who are under or uninsured and who are unable to pay for some or all of their healthcare services due to genuine financial need. Patients who are not eligible for Medicaid or any other funded program and who are unable to pay for services will be considered. Patients or the patient’s guarantor are required to complete an application and provide documentation to qualify for financial assistance. If you have a high deductible you can also apply.
Prompt Pay Discounts- You may qualify for a discount if you pay your bill in full within 45 days from the date of service.
Price Transparency & No Surprises Act
When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing. To view more information about the No Surprises Act, click here.
