Overview

Overview

Cleveland Clinic Health System's policy is to provide Emergency Care and Medically Necessary Care on a non-profit basis to patients without regard to race, creed, or ability to pay. Patients who do not have the means to pay for services provided at CCHS facilities may request financial assistance, which will be awarded subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The eligibility criteria for financial assistance pursuant to the following policies are intended to ensure that CCHS will have the financial resources to provide care to patients who are in the greatest financial need.

The policies listed here are only applicable to their intended location and do not apply to all CCHS facilities.

Right to receive a good faith estimate

If you do not have health insurance or are not using it, under the law you have the right to receive a good faith estimate for the cost of your scheduled services. You can request a good faith estimate at any time. To request one, contact a Patient Financial Advocate or create your own estimate.
