PRESQUE ISLE and BREWER, Maine — On Nov. 22, all Northern Light Health facilities began offering new patient discounts.
Services performed and billed by Northern Light Health that meet the criteria below are eligible for discounts.
Self-pay/uninsured patients will receive an automatic discount on their total charges. This pricing aligns patient cost with the average payment Northern Light Health would receive on behalf of an insurance provider. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify, and payment plans can be arranged. For dates of service on or after Nov. 22, patient bills, as well as online pricing lists and price estimation tools, will reflect these changes. This discount is only available to those who are self-pay/uninsured, and cannot be used in place of an individual’s insurance plan.
For those patients making a full payment prior to or on the day of service or discharge, a time-of-service discount of 20 percent is available.
Patients who pay in full within 30 days of their first statement date are eligible for a 10 percent prompt payment discount.
Patients with questions should visit NorthernLightHealth.org and click on Pay My Bill at the top of the page for more information, or contact Northern Light A.R. Gould Hospital in Presque Isle at 768-4000 or northernlighthealth.org/Our-System/AR-Gould-Hospital/Patients-Visitors/Billing-Help.
