[Contact Financial Counseling](/patient-financial-assistance#generic-content-33229) [View Applications and Documents](/patient-financial-assistance#applications-and-documents) ### Financial Assistance Options BMC Health System offers two paths to financial assistance: state coverage programs, such as MassHealth and the Health Safety Net, and BMC Health System financial assistance programs. If you don’t qualify for state coverage, or still have remaining costs, BMC Health System programs may help. Many patients may qualify for assistance through both. Financial assistance is available to eligible uninsured and underinsured Massachusetts residents. Depending on the program, eligibility may be based on factors such as income, insurance status and medical expenses. Medical Hardship may be available to Massachusetts residents at any income level if medical expenses are too large relative to their income to manage. Patients who qualify for financial assistance will not be charged more for emergency or other medically necessary care than the amounts generally billed to patients who have insurance. ### How to Apply You can apply for financial assistance before, during or after your visit. Our Financial Counseling team can help you determine which program and application are right for you. All applications and supporting documentation are kept confidential. ## Applications and Documents **The policies and documents below apply to Boston Medical Center, Boston Medical Center Brighton and Boston Medical Center South.** Select your preferred language to find financial assistance policies, applications and other helpful documents.
