Savings
Emry helped a member apply for hospital financial assistance. Initially, they were denied because their income, derived solely from Social Security and minimal savings, exceeded the federal poverty level. Upon reviewing the denial, we discovered that the hospital had changed its criteria. We contacted the hospital and successfully secured an 80% reduction, reducing the member’s liability to $25,000. The member was then placed on a manageable payment plan.
