Financial Help & Options

 

As a public district hospital, Valley Medical Center is committed to providing the best care possible to every patient, regardless of ability to pay. Uncompensated care regularly accounts for more than 10 percent of our annual operating revenue. To ensure we help as many people as possible, individuals are qualified based on financial documentation and demonstrated need. (VMC's financial assistance program is limited to assistance with hospital facility bills.)

We recognize the significant financial burden medical expenses create for patients with limited or no healthcare coverage. We will offer uninsured patients a similar discount to the discount taken by our contracted insurance carriers.

Uninsured patients may be eligible for a prompt pay discount for their outstanding balance. Please review our Uninsured & Prompt Pay Discount details.

Valley Medical Center also offers two different payment plan options:

Option #1:  

• Short term (12 month or less) no interest payment plans are available through our Patient Financial Services department.  Please contact one of our representatives at 1.855-826.1540 or 425.251.5178, option 1 for assistance with setting up a payment plan.

Option #2: 

• Long term payment plans (over 12 months) are available through our partner Parasail Health. Their payment plans are always interest free and customized around your budget. Please enroll by clicking Set up Payment Plan with Parasail or contact (877) 575 – 4712 for assistance with setting up a payment plan.
