Coping with Finances
Kaweah Delta Health Care District is committed to
fulfilling our mission of providing high quality, customer-oriented, and
financially strong healthcare services to meet the needs of those we serve. To
ensure the success of this commitment we must be financially responsible. We
take a positive and proactive approach to patient billing and collections with
the goal of receiving payment for services rendered in the most efficient,
timely and customer-friendly manner possible.
Financial concerns can affect you and your family's
life and ability to cope with your current illness. Kaweah Delta has a patient
financial counselor to assist you with specific questions regarding financial
coverage of your hospital stay. Call (559) 624-2000, or dial the operator (0),
and ask to speak to a financial counselor. The hospital will also provide a
social worker that can link you to agencies such as the Employment Development
Department, Social Security office and Tulare County Health and Human Services
Agency.

your account(s) if you are unable to pay the balance(s) in full in one payment.
