Financial Assistance & Billing Policies
In accordance with our Financial Assistance Policy (see reference below), all uninsured patients who have not been approved for Medicaid or Charity Care receive financial assistance at Englewood Hospital. These patients are billed a percentage of their actual charges at a “discounted rate” that greatly reduces the amount of the bill that the patient will have to pay. An uninsured patient will not be charged more than the discounted rate for emergency or other medically necessary care.
An uninsured patient does not need to apply for assistance because all uninsured patients automatically qualify and are billed at the discounted rate described above. There is no qualifying criteria other than the patient having no insurance and the service provided being emergent or medically necessary.
The following policies are available in English and several other languages:
- Financial Assistance Policy
- New Jersey Hospital Care Payment Assistance Program (Charity Care)
- Billing and Collections Policy
Copies of the above policies are also available in registration areas and in the Financial Counseling Department of Englewood Hospital at 350 Engle Street, Englewood, NJ 07631.
A free copy of any of the policies mentioned above can also be received by mail. Please call 201-894-3031 to obtain a copy. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 201-894-3031 to answer questions related to the Financial Assistance Policy.
