Charity Care at Main Line Health

Main Line Health provides quality healthcare to the community, including to patients who lack health insurance or who do not otherwise have the ability to pay for services.  In cases of emergency medical needs, we provide care to all patients, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay.  For non-emergency care, it is MLH's policy to provide free or discounted care for medically-necessary services to those who live within the MLH service area and who meet eligibility requirements. 

Main Line Health's "Charity Care and Financial Assistance" policy is based upon income levels defined by the federal government.  Depending on family size, our policy allows for free care for patients whose household income does not exceed 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Limit (FPL).  Discounts are available for patients with family incomes up to 500 percent of the FPL, again depending on family size.

Details of the MLH Charity Care and Financial Assistance are available by clicking the links below or by calling Main Line Health Patient Accounting at 610-658-6060.  Our specially trained staff works confidentially and respectfully with patients to review and explain the details of our policy and to determine eligibility.

We believe our Charity Care and Financial Assistance policy continues our long tradition of caring for those in need, while also ensuring MLH's ongoing ability to serve the entire community with quality healthcare.
