Community Focused Insurance Eligibility and Payment Plans Options Offered Through Partnership
Clay Center, Kansas (PRWEB) June 09, 2016 -- Clay County Medical Center (CCMC) and The Midland Group (Midland) have partnered to provide public healthcare benefit advocacy services that consist of Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program, Crime Victim Compensation, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, and other programs eligible to patients that might not have the resources to pay their medical bills.
Austin M. Gillard, CEO of CCMC said, “With recent changes in healthcare legislation, we saw an opportunity to further serve our patients and to increase healthcare coverage for these vital services. The need for patient advocacy is stronger today than it has ever been. We hope to have a positive impact on our community by extending affordable healthcare to those who would otherwise not have access to it.”
As consumers continue to absorb more and more of the costs associated with healthcare, we at CCMC feel an obligation to proactively work with our patients to help them find resolutions to the balances for which they are responsible. We partnered with Midland because of their excellent track record in successfully obtaining healthcare benefits for patients, as well as their ability to work with patients in a compassionate manner.
CCMC and Midland will also offer payment plan options to patients with balances after insurance has paid, or who are uninsured. According to Gillard, “Most people want to pay their hospital bill, but not all hospitals offer the flexibility people need to make the monthly payments affordable. We want to work with our patients in a way that benefits our whole community. We feel this patient payment plan does just that.”
Roger McCollister, CEO of The Midland Group, says his company is committed to helping hospitals like CCMC to make healthcare affordable. According to McCollister, “CCMC is the kind of hospital we want to work with. They genuinely care about their patients and they recognize that quality healthcare encompasses all phases of the patient experience—including post-care payment options.”
