Financial Assistance
Bozeman Health is committed to providing emergency and medically necessary care to patients who are uninsured or have limited insurance. You may qualify for financial assistance if you are unable to pay your bill or if paying it would result in financial hardship. Bozeman Health’s FirstSource program employs a patient-care advocate to assist uninsured patients whose medical bills exceed a certain amount. First Source will assist our patient’s with applying for Medicaid and understanding their coverage.
Our goal is to match qualified patients with funding sources such as Medicaid, Social Security or other programs. Our financial assistance program can help patients who have incomes at or below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), are underinsured or are insured and have family income under 400% of the FPL.
Amount Generally Billed
If a patient is determined to qualify for financial assistance under this policy, the patient’s billed charges will be no more than the same Amounts Generally Billed (AGB) for emergency or other Medically Necessary Health Care Services as patients who have insurance coverage.
AGB Percentage
Bozeman Health Deaconess Regional Medical Center’s and Big Sky Medical Center’s AGB percentage is 48.2% of gross charges for inpatient and outpatient services.
This percentage is based on all claims allowed for Bozeman Health’s emergency and other medically necessary inpatient and outpatient services by Medicare, Medicaid and private payers over a 12-month period divided by the associated gross charges for those claims.
Look-Back Period
The 12-month look-back measurement period currently in effect is July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024. The AGB will be applied starting as of October 1, 2024, and continuing through September 30, 2025.
