Financial Assistance
Committed to the health of our region
UPMC offers financial assistance for its medical care to eligible individuals and families. This program stems from UPMC’s charitable mission of providing health care services to residents of western Pennsylvania regardless of their financial status and ability to pay. The program offers free or reduced-cost care to more than 7,000 individuals and families each year.
Patients may be eligible for financial assistance if they:
- have limited or no health insurance
- are not eligible for government assistance (for example, Medicare or Medicaid)
- can show they have financial need
- are residents of western Pennsylvania
- provide UPMC with necessary information about household finances
More information on eligibility is available on UPMC's Financial Assistance Policy page.
