Collingsworth General Hospital serves all patients regardless of ability to pay.
Discounts for uninsured patients seeking medically necessary care provided by the hospital and clinic are offered based on the size of the patient’s immediate family, annual household income, and a sliding scale comparing household income with the hospital and clinic’s charity care income guidelines.
Uninsured patients may apply for a discount in the hospital business office, or clinic front desk.
Collingsworth Family Medicine serves all patients regardless of ability to pay.
Collingsworth Family Medicine’s Charity Care Sliding Fee Scale will offer a Sliding Fee Discount to all who are unable to pay for their services. CFM-RHC will base program eligibility only on income and family size impacting a person’s ability to pay and will not discriminate on the basis of an individual’s race, color, sex, national origin, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The Federal Poverty Guidelines are used in creating and annually updating the sliding fee schedule (SFS) to determine eligibility.
Patients may apply at the clinic front desk.
Our doctors contract with most major health insurance companies and participate in the plans these companies offer. A partial list of insurance companies with which we have contracts can be found below. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.
If you have medical insurance, please provide that information to our staff when you make your appointment. We will verify your eligibility and file a claim on your behalf. Providing your insurance information in advance will help speed you through check in at the time of your appointment.
Copays, coinsurance and deductibles are due at the time of service. Not all services, even those most people consider routine, will be covered by every insurance plan. If you have questions about specific benefits, please contact your insurance carrier. Services not covered by your insurance plan are the patient’s responsibility.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
