What are the requirements to be eligible for financial assistance? You must be a self-pay legal resident of Ohio and your income must be at or below 400% of the Federal Income Poverty Guideline and you are strongly encouraged to cooperate with the Medicaid Eligibility Process. Can financial assistance be used towards my deductible and out of pocket expenses with my insurance?

As of March 1, 2011, patients with insurance cannot use financial assistance towards deductibles or out of pocket expenses after insurance pays. How do I know if my financial assistance application was processed and approved? A letter will be mailed to patients who were approved for financial assistance.

Cleveland Clinic is looking into changing the statement to reflect actual service dates. I see a "hospital charge" on my statement for an outpatient office visit.
