Financial Assistance Policy Special Inpatient Care Facility – Coburg, OR Purpose Serenity Lane has developed this policy to outline the circumstances under which Serenity Lane will provide free or discounted care to uninsured patients who require medically necessary care in our Special Inpatient Care Facility hospital and who demonstrate an inability to pay. Scope Serenity Lane is committed to providing Financial Assistance for Covered Services to uninsured patients who are unable to pay based on their individual financial situation. Eligibility is generally determined by measuring a patient’s gross family income against the Federal Poverty Guidelines as described in the Policy Guidelines below. Financial Assistance does not apply to Covered Services that are covered by insurance. Patients are expected to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage if affordable coverage is available to them. To be eligible for Financial Assistance, the patient is expected to have applied for and complied with all processes related to seeking assistance from other insurers and/or programs (including potentially applicable governmental programs) as requested by Serenity Lane staff. Patients who are noncompliant or uncooperative in attempting to obtain insurance coverage, qualification under governmental programs, or other funding sources will not be eligible for Financial Assistance. Patients will not be eligible for Financial Assistance if the patient provides false information or falsified documentation of household size, income or other patient information. Serenity Lane provides a multitude of services including but not limited to medically supported withdrawal (detox) services, short and long-term residential care, and intensive outpatient services. Many of these services are outside the scope of the services offered and provided in our Special Inpatient Care Facility. All patients seeking admission into any of our facilities must go through a and assessment process. Based upon this process, treatment recommendations will be made which will generally always include services beyond those provided in our Special Inpatient Care Facility. Serenity Lane is in the business of treating the disease of substance abuse and as such we do not offer medically supported withdrawal (detox) services alone. Patients admitting to our facility agree to and have the intent of completing the treatment plan specifically tailored to their needs. Financing for all the services in the treatment plan, excluding those services provided in our Special Inpatient Care Facility, may require a guarantor. Patients who have an acceptable guarantor who agree to accept liability for the treatment plan will be deemed to have financial resources available for the Covered Services and will not be eligible for Financial Assistance.
