Nemours Financial Assistance Program
If you can’t afford private health insurance, and you don’t qualify for state or federal government health care programs, you might be eligible for Nemours-funded financial assistance. It’s our policy to provide care, either at a discounted rate or at no charge, for those patients who participate in the Nemours Financial Assistance Program (NFAP). NFAP plan not only applies to hospital charges, but also applies to physician services as well.
The Nemours Financial Assistance Program (NFAP) is based on income level and other circumstances. Families must apply for all applicable state and/or federal aid programs before qualifying for the NFAP.
If a family receives a discount through NFAP, the discounted rate (percentage) the family receives is applied to total gross charges. Failure to make scheduled payments may result in disqualification from NFAP. Families must recertify their participation in NFAP annually.
Nemours offers several financial assistance programs — some apply to specific medical conditions, others discount or lower the cost of Nemours medical services. Nemours financial counselors will be able to help guide you through the application process.
