Plumas District Hospital has chosen to assist patients who cannot otherwise afford health care by adopting the following: Help Financial Payment Plans, Prompt Pay Discount, Discount Payment Policy, and Charity Care Policies. With the rising cost of healthcare, patients with commercial insurance or Medicare may also benefit from these programs. Each program's details are listed below.

There are organizations that will help patients understand the billing and payment process.

Charity Care Policy

The Charity Care Policy provides financial assistance to patients who have health care needs and are uninsured, under-insured, ineligible for a government program, and are otherwise unable to pay for medically necessary care based on their individual needs. A graduated schedule based on the annual HHS Poverty Guidelines, as well as assessment of the patient’s monetary assets will be used to determine the qualifying income and asset levels of applicants.
