Financial Assistance Information
Providing convenient access to necessary medical care regardless of one's ability to pay is important to us. As part of Metro Health's commitment to care and to serve the needs of the community, Metro Health Hospital has instituted a policy designed to help those patients without financial means to pay for their hospital services.
Basic medically necessary hospital services may be available at no charge if you are eligible under Metro Health Hospital's Financial Assistance Program.
