The programs we offer assistance with: Social Security Disability & SSI, SC & GA Medicaid Affordable Health Care Act, State Office of Victim Assistance, Charity Care.

AnMed offers financial assistance, based on the current Federal Poverty Guidelines to uninsured patients and guarantors with an outstanding balance owed for medically necessary services. Depending on the patients Federal Poverty Level, which is determined by household income and number of qualifying individuals in the household, a discount may be applied. The following sliding scale will be used for determining the discount:

<200% FPL= 100% discount

201-300% FPL= 75% discount

301-400% FPL= 65% discount

**These discounts are taken after the self-pay discount of 50% off of gross charges.

Once a patient is approved for Financial Assistance, the discount will apply to all qualifying accounts 180 days prior from application date. The discount will also be applied to future accounts with dates of service 180 days forward from the application date. Patients or guarantors may be determined to be Presumptively Eligible for financial assistance based on eligibility for other specific state or federal programs.
