About
PROVIDING INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENTS' ABILITY TO PAY. INCLUDED IN THESE HEALTH CARE SERVICES ARE THE PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE AND TRAUMA CARE. AS PART OF ITS COMMUNITY BENEFITS STRATEGY AND ITS VISION AND VALUES, ADVOCATE IS COMMITTED TO PROMOTING INITIATIVES THAT ENHANCE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNINSURED, UNDERINSURED AND LOW INCOME. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS ADVOCATE'S PROVISION OF CHARITY CARE. ADVOCATE OFFERS A VERY GENEROUS CHARITY CARE PROGRAM-REQUIRING NO PAYMENTS FROM THE PATIENTS MOST IN NEED AND PROVIDING DISCOUNTS TO UNINSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO SIX TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, AND TO INSURED PATIENTS EARNING UP TO FOUR TIMES THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. ADVOCATE ALSO CONSIDERS AN INDIVIDUAL'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES TO QUALIFY PATIENTS FOR CHARITY CARE. FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, ADVOCATE WILL PRESUMPTIVELY PROVIDE CHARITY CARE IF THE FINANCIAL STATUS HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY A THIRD PARTY AND, IN THESE CASES, THE PATIENT IS NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SEPARATE CHARITY CARE APPLICATION. IF PRESUMPTIVE CRITERIA IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THEN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ELIGIBILITY IS AVAILABLE USING AN INCOME-BASED SCREENING. ADVOCATE EXTENDS ITS INCOME-BASED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY TO ITS INSURED PATIENTS AS WELL, ALSO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE INSURED INDIVIDUAL'S EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. ALTHOUGH ADVOCATE'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS VERY GENEROUS, ADVOCATE CONTINUES TO REVIEW AND REFINE ITS POLICY IN AN ONGOING EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO NEED HELP IN A TIMELY MANNER. ADVOCATE HOSPITALS MAINTAIN HIGHLY VISIBLE SIGNAGE AND BROCHURES IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES TO INFORM PATIENTS OF THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIAL HELP AND FINANCIAL COUNSELORS. INFORMATION ABOUT ADVOCATE'S CHARITY CARE PROGRAM AND CHARITY APPLICATIONS IS PROVIDED TO ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS DURING REGISTRATION AND IS MAILED TO THEM IN ADVANCE OF THE FIRST PATIENT BILLING. AFTER THAT, EACH UNINSURED PATIENT BILL INCLUDES SUMMARY INFORMATION REGARDING THE CHARITY CARE PROGRAM. ADVOCATE IS ALSO ONE OF THE LARGEST PROVIDERS OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO MEDICAID AND MEDICARE PATIENTS IN CHICAGO AND THE SURROUNDING SUBURBS. ADVOCATE HEALTH CARE IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING EXPERT EMERGENCY CARE-TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE. IN THE AREA OF TRAUMA CARE, LEVEL 1 DESIGNATION IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL FOR TRAUMA CENTERS.
