Payment InformationWheatland Memorial Healthcare

Finding a payment solution is easy!

We will work out an affordable payment plan with you, based on your income. We will be as reasonable as possible.

IRC Section 501(r)(5) requires that hospitals limit charges for emergency and other medically necessary care provided to individuals eligible for financial assistance to be no more than amounts generally billed (ABG) to insured individuals. Our facility uses the “look back” method to calculate AGB. Under this method, we reviewed all paid Medicare claims for a 12-month period ending March 31, 2017. The “Look Back” review determined that the average discount totaled 1.5% of hospital charges. The uninsured discount rate of 1.5% is applied to all uninsured patient accounts. The minimum amount that we charge uninsured patients is lower than the amount generally billed (AGB) to insurance. Additional discounts for patients who receive financial assistance under our policy would be greater than or equal to the uninsured rate. We test this threshold annually to ensure ongoing compliance with this requirement.
