Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance

Clark Fork Valley Hospital offers a Financial Assistance Program for those patients who are unable to satisfy their personal financial responsibility for healthcare services provided at the hospital. 

The Financial Assistance Application Form must be completed and submitted with income documentation, in the form of pay stubs and/or income tax returns.  All information on the application and support documentation is kept confidential and utilized only in the evaluation process. 

Financial Assistance is extended based on household size and provided for members of households qualifying at up to 250% of the Federal Poverty guidlines on a sliding scale.  If a percentage discount is approved under the Financial Assistance Program, we do require a payment agreement on the remaining balance. 

We understand this process may be difficult to understand and our Financial Specialists are eager to assist you with the program application to help identify resources to satisfy your bills and answer any other questions you may have.

Rural Health Clinic Sliding Scale

A sliding scale is provided for patients at each of the hospital's four Family Medicine Network offices (rural health clinics).  The sliding scales is accessed by completion of an abbreviated application and provides discounts up to 75% of the cost of a clinic visit.  The program does require payment of the patient portion at the time of service in order to be eligible for the discount.

Hospice Financial Assistance

The Clark Fork Valley Hospital Hospice Program conducts fundraising activities throughout the year and utilizes those funds to assist patients who do not have insurance or other resources to pay for hospice services. Within the hospice program, we are committed to ensuring that every patient who wishes to take advantage of hospice end of life care may do so without regard for their ability to pay.
