Help Paying Your Bill
If you need financial assistance with paying your bill, please see the resources below:
San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital is proud of its mission to provide quality care to all who need it, regardless of the ability to pay. Please note San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital accepts most insurances, including: Medicare, Medi-Cal, and most HMO and PPO plans.
If you do not have health insurance and worry that you may not be able to pay in full for your care, we may be able to help you. San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital provides financial assistance to patients based on their income and needs. Through our financial counseling services we may be able to get you qualified for financial aid based on Federal poverty guidelines. There is a self pay discount and a discounted/sliding fee schedule available based on family size and income. And we will work with you to arrange a manageable payment plan.
In addition, you may qualify for a discount on your hospital bill if you are a financially qualified patient. Information on our charity and discount policy is available at your request, on this page, or in the Patient Access or Patient Financial Services offices. Also, you may qualify for charity care and discounted payments for the emergency room physician fees, which are separate from the San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital billing, by contacting that company.
It is important that you let us know if you will have trouble paying your bill. Federal and State laws require all hospitals to make reasonable efforts to collect payment for services from patients. The hospital may turn unpaid accounts over to a collection agency. We would like to work with you to avoid this situation. We will treat your questions with confidentiality and courtesy.
