YRMC New Patient Financial
Assistance Policy
Consistent with Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s (YRMC)
not-for-profit Mission, YRMC has announced a new Patient
Financial Assistance Policy to assist patients who are
underinsured, uninsured or unable to pay for medical care
received at YRMC hospitals or through YRMC’s employed
physician network, YRMC PhysicianCare.
“We believe that healthcare is a basic pillar for human dignity
and we are committed to providing advanced healthcare
services that meet our patients needs regardless of their
ability to pay,” states John Amos, YRMC President and Chief
Executive Officer. “YRMC’s new Patient Financial Assistance
Policy sets clear guidelines that allow us to work closely with
our patients to identify responsible financial solutions that
meet their individual circumstances.”
YRMC patients are encouraged to communicate with their
YRMC financial counselor if they anticipate difficulty paying
their portion of their hospital bill. YRMC counselors make
every effort to help patients who face financial challenges that
may prevent them from paying for their healthcare services.
Counselors may assist patients in applying for appropriate
insurance coverage, setting up an extended payment plan, or
applying for YRMC charity care.
Patients who wish to apply for financial assistance must
complete a Patient Financial Assistance Application within 30
days of discharge. A copy of the complete Patient Financial
Assistance Policy and the application can be obtained from
YRMC’s website at www.yrmc.org/patient-financial-services/
financial-assistance or by contacting the YRMC Business
Office anytime at (928) 771-5151.
