Links:Do you know how to read your medical bills? Do you know what to do if you can't afford to pay your medical bills?
Financial concerns shouldn't decide whether you see a doctor. On this episode of For the Love of Health, we're pulling back the curtain on hospital billing, financial assistance, and the practical steps that make care affordable - often for people who never imagined they'd qualify.
ChristianaCare's Vice President of Revenue Cycle, Christina Corkery, and Health Guides supervisor, Dawn Baker walk through how to navigate coverage, who qualifies for help and how to ask for help.
ChristianaCare Health Guides meet people where they are: embedded in primary care, at community events, and through inpatient referrals for those facing urgent bills. If you're staring at a statement, call the toll-free number on it, visit the ChristianaCare website to apply for assistance, or reach out to the Health Guides portal to start coverage screening for Medicaid or marketplace plans. We keep the process simple, judgment-free, and focused on getting you connected fast.
Don't wait for an emergency, and don't put off care due to your financial situation - listen to this episode to find how out to make health care affordable and within reach.
