Charity Care Policy Development & Implementation
ARMDS provides consulting services to our clients in both New Jersey and New York on managing self-pay accounts. In New York, where there are no set guidelines for charity care, we advise clients on steps for determining a charity write-off including: applying federal poverty guidelines, income and asset levels, and other related factors for developing a fair and equitable charity care program.
We have advised clients in all States on options for payment plans, settlements and discount policies for consistent and equitable treatment of uninsured patients and to protect our client hospitals from inquiries into their tax-exempt status. Of course, these services supplement our efforts to enroll eligible patients in all applicable Federal and State entitlement programs.
