Financial Assistance
Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville treats all patients, regardless of their ability to pay, for emergent and medically necessary care. If you know that you will be unable to pay your medical bills, contact the Patient Financial Services team immediately. Our staff will work with you to create a plan that fits your situation.
We offer financial assistance to low-income individuals and families, in addition to no-interest payment plans. We can usually work with patients to prevent bills going to collections or beyond, but you must contact us. We can’t help you if we don’t know you need help.
To be considered for financial assistance, please complete and submit an application (with requested attachments). If more information is needed to process your application, our financial assistance representatives will reach out to you. Processing your application may take 10-14 days. Additional processing time may be needed if more information is required.
If your accounts are currently in a Commerce Bank repayment plan, please indicate Commerce as an expense and the amount of your monthly payment. Additional processing time is required for balances with Commerce Bank.
To learn more, contact the Financial Assistance team at 812-450-3435. Representatives are available Monday-Friday, 7 AM to 3:30 PM (CST), excluding major holidays and the Friday after Thanksgiving.
During the financial counseling process we will figure out if you qualify for health insurance coverage through federal or state programs such as Medicaid. If you are eligible for one of these programs, we will ask that you apply for coverage.
Our team at The WellFund will reach out to you. They can be reached at 270-238-6940 if you have any questions on applying for coverage.
