Patient Financial Navigation
Patient Guide
MultiCare is committed to serving all patients, including those who lack health insurance coverage and who cannot pay for all or part of the essential care they receive.
What if I don’t have insurance?
Patient Financial Navigators (PFNs) are available to help you determine if you are eligible for coverage through a variety of sources, including:
- State and federal resources, like Medicaid
- Other coverage sources such as COBRA, Workman’s Compensation, Victims of Crime, or a third party (e.g., auto insurance)
- The Health Benefit Exchange
- Drug/supply assistance programs
- Community assistance programs
- Financial Assistance
What if I cannot pay my bill?
We feel that our patients have the right to be fully informed of their estimated out-of-pocket cost of care as soon as we are able to provide the information. For a patient who may have difficulties with payment for any portion of care, Patient Financial Navigators (PFNs) are available to help you understand your insurance and discuss options for payment, including:
- Payment Plans – Patients can pay for services over a period of time, based on financial need
- Financial Assistance – This is a program for patients who are not eligible for state/federal assistance, yet do not have adequate financial resources. You must submit an application and supporting documents for review and approval to determine if you are eligible for financial assistance. Applications are available from PFNs and Registration staff. Please ask to speak to them at the time of service.
