Ecu Health Bertie Hospital — Financial Assistance & Charity Care

What North Carolina's program guarantees

Under North Carolina's Medical Debt Relief Program, Ecu Health Bertie Hospital must provide FREE care to uninsured patients at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, and discounted care for patients up to 300%.

This is the required minimum — Ecu Health Bertie Hospital may offer more generous help. The only way to know is to apply, and applying is always free.

This is a program North Carolina renews each year, so the exact help available can change over time. The hospital can confirm what applies to you right now — and applying is always free.

How to apply

When you call, say: “I'd like to apply for financial assistance (charity care) for a hospital bill. Can you send me the application and tell me which documents I need?”
