Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital of Harnett Health System is committed to serving the healthcare needs of the communities we serve.  We offer financial assistance to anyone based on need and ability to pay.  Our Patient Account Liaisons will assist patients in applying for financial assistance and any other funding sources that may be available for which they may qualify.  Pre-screening may be conducted at pre-admission or point of service for all uninsured or underinsured accounts that cannot meet the deposit requirements; however, all emergent services will be provided without regard to the ability to pay.  Requested deposits may be applicable for all non-emergent services that are not covered or assigned under an insurance policy. 

Our financial assistance policy affords for the review of financial information provided by the patient and/or guarantor.  Based on 200% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines, we use a sliding scale based on income and number of household members to determine the charity care write-off percentage.  We will also consider monthly medical expenses and total household assets when determining eligibility for charity care.  Patients who do not meet our guidelines for charity care write-offs are given alternative means to settle their accounts via credit card payments or monthly payment options.  In addition, we offer discounts to uninsured (self-pay) patients as well as prompt pay incentives for all patients.
All patients and/or guarantors who may have difficulty paying their hospital bills are encouraged to speak with our Patient Account Liaisons at 910-892-7161.
