Financial Assistance

The mission of South Peninsula Hospital is to provide you with quality medical care regardless of your ability to pay. We can appreciate the dramatic impact unexpected medical bills can have when insurance coverage is not available or is insufficient. We have several ways to help you in this time of need:

Self-Pay Discount

Patients who do not have insurance, or who choose not to utilize insurance benefits, will automatically receive a Self-Pay Discount equal to 25% of the total charges. Applies to hospital services, clinic, outpatient surgery and professional charges. Income qualifications are not required.

Prompt Pay Discount

Patients who do not have insurance are eligible for a 10% prompt pay discount. South Peninsula Hospital offers a 10% discount to uninsured self-pay patients who pay their balance within 30-days front the date of the first cycle statement. Income qualifications are not required.

Payment Plan

For your convenience, patients can opt to pay a designated amount per month on their outstanding balance. They  can set up an interest-free auto-recurring payment plan on their credit card, or be billed monthly. 

Medicaid—Expedited Enrollment

South Peninsula Hospital is qualified to make preliminary Medicaid eligibility determinations for qualified applicants. Presumptive Eligibility is an expedited process of enrolling eligible applicants for short term coverage in the Medicaid program. It provides eligible individuals with immediate coverage while their application is processed for the full Medicaid program.

Pre-Paid Discount

A pre-paid discount is available to the residents in Long Term Care. A sliding discount is available based on pre-payments of 60 days, 90 days and greater than 90 days.

Other Insurance Enrollment Assistance

Assistance is available with enrolling in Medicare, Medicaid or the federally mandated insurance options in Alaska. Call the Finanical Assistance office to peak with a financial counselor, or inquire at your next visit.

Financial Assistance

Discounted care is offered to persons who cannot afford to pay some or all of their bill, including those who are uninsured or underinsured and/or not eligible for any private or public health care program.
