Accessible Care In The Seattle Metropolitan Area
Fairfax Health is committed to ensuring that our patients get the care they need, regardless of ability to pay for that care. Providing health care to those who cannot afford to pay is part of our mission and state law requires hospitals to provide free or discounted care to eligible patients. You may qualify for free or discounted care based on family size and income, even if you have health insurance.
If you think you may have trouble paying for your health care, please talk with us. When possible, we encourage you to ask for financial help before receiving medical treatment.
What Is Covered? For emergency and other appropriate hospital-based services, including outpatient services at Fairfax Health, we provide free care and financial assistance/charity care to eligible patients on a sliding fee scale basis, with discounts ranging from 75 – 100%.
No patient eligible for financial assistance/charity care will be charged more than amounts generally billed to patients who have insurance.
