"Caring for patients after the service"

 

Facilitated Enrollment

River Hospital is driven by the mission of caring for patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week and assisting in providing financial assistance to meet those healthcare needs. River Hospital is committed to going beyond just treating patients in their time of need. We are improving the health of the River Communities through outreach programs that provide not only health education, but also access to affordable care.

At River Hospital we are pleased to offer a friendly staff to assist our uninsured patients in arranging appointments for Facilitated Enrollment Program to determine alternative options for health care coverage.

River Hospital and The North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council, lead agency for the Facilitated Enrollment Program, have joined forces to help uninsured patients apply for Medicaid, Family Health Plus, and Child Health Plus, without the need to travel out of the community. A facilitated enroller will be available to answer eligibility questions, help families gather needed documentation, and will complete a Medicaid, Family Health Plus, or Child Health Plus application for anyone. The application will be submitted by the Facilitated Enrollment Specialist, eliminating the need for our patients to travel outside our area for impersonal appointments, in an effort to obtain assistance in meeting healthcare costs. Normally a preliminary eligibility screening can be completed at the appointment to facilitate processing the River Care application for reduction of any recent and future River Hospital bills.

Anyone interested in scheduling an appointment should contact River Hospital's Patient Accounting Office at (315) 482-1230. You will receive instructions about what information to bring to the appointment. Any uninsured members of the community are encouraged to schedule an appointment regardless of current outstanding bills or medical need. There is no cost to apply. Take this opportunity to gain peace of mind.

River Care Program

River Hospital asks all patients to pay balances in full within 30 days of service, but understands that this is sometimes not financially possible. In this case, patients are requested to contact the Patient Accounting Office at (315)482-1230 to make repayment arrangements on any outstanding accounts. If full payment is not received and a repayment agreement is not maintaining, River Hospital will be have no choice but to pursue further collection efforts.

PLEASE NOTE: If you currently have a repayment agreement on one or more accounts and new charges are accrued it is necessary to contact the Patient Accounting Office as the new charges are NOT automatically added to the current repayment arrangements.
