Even New Yorkers with health insurance often forego or delay necessary health care because of high deductibles or insufficient coverage, according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of today\u2019s agreement, uninsured or under-insured patients earning twice the federal poverty level or less will receive free medical care. Patients earning between three and five times the federal poverty level will receive discounted medical services based on Medicaid or Medicare rates.<\/p>\n<p>The OAG and Northwell worked together to simplify Northwell\u2019s public notices on financial assistance to make them more accessible and understandable for patients.<\/p>\n<p>To limit unnecessary medical debt collection, Northwell will dedicate a Medical Debt Ombudsperson to review accounts before litigation is commenced. The ombudsperson will ensure that the patient has been given ample notice of Northwell\u2019s financial assistance policies and the opportunity to apply for such assistance. The ombudsperson will also ensure there is either a reasonable basis to believe the patient owes the debt, or the patient is not known to be an enlisted service person or a veteran, unemployed,\u00a0disabled, or deemed incapacitated, among other factors.<\/p>\n<p>Northwell will keep these policies in place for five years and will provide annual reports to OAG and the Northwell Board of Trustees on its financial assistance program, according to the release.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement applies to all 21 Northwell hospitals as well as 56 Northwell clinics in New York City and on Long Island.
