Financial Assistance

print page Print

An important part of our service is advising you of financial assistance that may be available to help pay for your care. It also is our duty to share with you information on the deposit requirements and your financial responsibility for services provided throughout your care. Payment of identified co-payments and deductibles can be made at the time services are rendered unless prior financial arrangements have been made.

Note: Financial assistance programs are not available for healthcare services that are not medically necessary, including elective non-medically necessary services and cosmetic procedures.

Financial Counselors

We recognize that financial difficulties may accompany the receipt of healthcare services, and we want you to know that Overlake Medical Center & Clinics provide programs to assist you.

At Overlake, we utilize a third-party vendor named Elevate Patient Financial Solutions to assist patients without insurance in applying for Medicaid coverage. To find out more, please view the Elevate info. sheet.

Overlake offers a full range of financial services to aid patients seeking a funding source. Our financial counselors are available by calling 425.467.3740 Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. You may alternatively send an email to charitycare@overlakehospital.org and a representative will contact you within two business days. 

Charity Care

No one should ever go without healthcare simply because they are unable to pay for it. Thanks in part to our generous and compassionate donors, over the last three years Overlake provided over $16 million in charity care. View Overlake's Charity Care Policy.

The charity care program provides financial assistance with the patient responsibility portion of your claim after insurance has made payment or where no insurance benefits exist. Depending on your specific financial situation at the time of service, you may qualify for a discount of 75–100% off the balance of your account. The amount of the discount is highly dependent on your income as compared to federal poverty guidelines.

Overlake reserves the right to run a healthcare-related credit check that does not impact your credit rating during the application process. Financial assistance is only applicable after all other payment options have been received, including DSHS and third-party liability cases, such as auto or other accident coverage. 

Application

You have many options to apply for financial assistance (this program will require you to provide specific information about your income):
