Gibson gets it! 23 To obtain a financial assistance application or for more information, please contact Patient Accounts at 217-784-4251 or visit gibsonhospital.org . We understand that health care can be costly at times. That’s why we offer the Gibson Cares Financial Assistance program. The program is available to all Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) hospital patients and through most GAHHS clinics. It gives patients the opportunity to reduce their medical bills based on whether they are insured or are a private payer or uninsured, as well as on other issues or circumstances in which the bill is more than the patient is able to pay. Each patient’s statement is analyzed case by case. Based on a certain set of criteria, GAHHS determines the amount of discount as either a partial amount owed or a reduction in full. Some hospital services, such as elective procedures, are excluded from financial assistance. A simple application form is required from every patient wishing to receive assistance through the Gibson Cares Financial Assistance program. Each application is evaluated independently by our Patient Financial Services department and kept strictly confidential. Need help paying your bill? Gibson Gets It!
