At Civista, healthcare is not limited to in-hospital patients. We reach out to the community bringing better, healthier, and happier living to our neighbors in the county and surrounding areas. As a healthcare leader and one of Charles County's largest employers, we believe we have a responsibility to enhance the community where we work. Community benefits are those services provided by a hospital that go beyond direct patient care activities and are provided with partial or no compensation. Listed to the right is a summary of our community benefits activities for FY 2009.

Patient Financial Aid Program

Hospital care is available to all patients regardless of their race, color, national origin, age, gender, or ability to pay. Patients with balances due resulting from limited or no insurance coverage may qualify for our Financial Assistance Program. This program is designed to assist patients who are financially in need of help. Civista Medical Center uses poverty guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to determine a person's eligibility. We may consider other financial assets and liabilities of the patient and family when determining the ability to pay.

The patient is responsible for providing information requested during the qualification process. Bills will continue to arrive until eligibility has been determined. Click here to download a copy of the patient financial assistance application.
