Medical Financial Assistance

It is the policy of Virginia Hospital Center  (VHC) to provide caring healthcare services to patients 24 hours a day 7 days a week regardless of the ability to pay, doing so in an equitable manner and treating them with dignity, respect and compassion. To achieve this end, VHC has established a program to facilitate financial assistance to uninsured or underinsured patients for eligible services. Under this program, household income less than 200% of the published federal poverty guidelines may be provided free care, with respect to the patients’ out-of-pocket portion of the bill for eligible services ("Financial Assistance"). ViHC does not provide discounted care under its Financial Assistance Policy.  All efforts will be made to establish whether the patient is eligible for Financial Assistance before the patient leaves the Hospital.

Go to Financial Assistance Application and Financial Assistance Policy for applications and policy information in English, Spanish, Amharic, Arabic and Farsi. 

If a patient does not qualify for financial assistance and does not have insurance, VHC has established a self-pay allowance program (20% discount).  Please call the financial counseling office at 703.558.2492.
