Financial Assistance
Learn More About Our Financial Aid Programs
The mission of Southeast Georgia Health System is to provide quality, accessible
and cost-effective care to every patient. As part of this mission, the
Health System provides financial assistance through its Financial Assistance
Policy for eligible patients unable to pay for emergency or medically
necessary care.
Eligibility Requirements and Assistance Offered
The Health System provides financial aid to eligible uninsured and underinsured
patients whose household income is less than 300 percent of the Federal
Poverty Level (FPL). The level of discount for which a patient is eligible
is determined based on the patient’s household income as a percentage
of the FPL. Patients with a household income at 300 percent or greater
of the FPL are not eligible for financial assistance under the Financial
Assistance Policy, but may be eligible for Catastrophic Financial Assistance
based on a review of the patient’s circumstances if the Health System
debt is greater than $10,000.
The Financial Assistance Policy applies to services provided in the hospital
setting, as well as physician services provided in the hospital setting
by physicians in the Health System’s affiliated physician group,
Southeast Georgia Physician Associates. To inquire about financial aid
for services provided outside of the hospital setting, including in the
physician office setting through Southeast Georgia Physician Associates.
or through the Health System’s immediate care centers, contact Southeast
Georgia Physician Associates Financial Advocates at 912-466-5899.
How To Apply for Financial Assistance
A patient who believes he or she may qualify for Financial Assistance must
request and submit the Financial Assistance Application. Patients must
fully comply with the application process, including submitting requested
supporting documentation. In addition, the patient must complete the application
process for all available sources of assistance, such as Medicaid. Financial
Counselors are available to assist with completing a Financial Assistance
Application. After an application is received, it will be reviewed and
a written determination as to the amount of financial assistance available,
or any additional information needed for consideration, will be provided.

Patients residing in Brantley, Camden, Glynn, Long and McIntosh counties
who are uninsured may qualify for financial assistance through our
Mammograms in Motion grant program. The grant program, which receives funding from the Coastal
Georgia Affiliate of Susan G. Komen, provides screening mammograms and
