Covenant Medical Center Financial Assistance Program Summary

Covenant HealthCare is committed to providing extraordinary care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Programs are in place to support people who cannot pay their bills from Covenant and may qualify under our Financial Assistance Eligibility Policy.

The Financial Assistance program is available for bills from Covenant HealthCare facilities, MedExpress, and Covenant physician offices. A complete list of Covenant locations can be found on our website at www.covenanthealthcare.com with a list of Covenant Medical Group physicians online at www.covenanthealthcare.com/CMG/CMGHome.aspx.

Who Can Apply

A request for Financial Assistance may be made by the patient, family member, close friend, or associate of the patient. Requests can be made prior to, during, or after service is received. Applicants may have no insurance or may have insurance yet unable to afford their medical bills.

People who are uninsured or underinsured may qualify for governmental health insurance programs, financial assistance programs, or the Covenant financial assistance program. Covenant Financial Assistance Counselors can help, and can be contacted at 989.583.2959 or via email at financialcounseling@chs-mi.com.
