Memorial Hospital of Converse County announced the introduction of an alternative payment program enabling patients and families a manageable way to pay their medical debts.

Memorial Hospital has partnered with Commerce Bank to offer Health Services Financing, or HSF^®, a program that allows patients to pay their out-of-pocket balances over time with 0% interest.

With out-of-pocket healthcare on the rise, Memorial Hospital wanted to help patients make healthcare decisions with less worry about the repayment of their care. Patients and families are eligible for HSF^® regardless of whether they have insurance, and without requiring a credit check. There is no set-up fee, charges or penalties for early payoffs, and patients can consolidate charges to one account with one monthly payment.

“We are excited about our partnership with Commerce Bank,” comments Memorial Hospital Chief Financial Officer James Cussins. “MHCC has been working on helping to keep healthcare affordable while remaining financially viable and continuing to make healthcare decisions local. Commerce Bank specializes in healthcare financing and has given MHCC interest-free options and payment plans for our patients up to 48 months. MHCC benefits by receiving funding from Commerce Bank upfront for the balances. This partnership will both assist our patients and help MHCC stay financially sound.”

For additional information about the HSF program, contact the business office at (307) 358-7393 or (307) 358-1408.
