Price Transparency
Our price transparency policy means you’ll never get any unexpected bills or costs for our medical services. We ensure you’re in the loop with what everything costs.
Financial Assistance & Charity Care
If you require financial assistance or are eligible for charitable help, we can ensure you receive access to appropriate medical care through these assistance schemes.
The Lakeland Community Hospital, Inc. Financial Assistance and Charity Care Policy exists to provide eligible patients who may need financial assistance partially or fully discounted emergency or medically necessary hospital care. Patients must apply for financial aid.
A patient who is uninsured or underinsured, has recently qualified for financial assistance, or is determined eligible under the Policy guidelines may receive financial aid for emergency or medically necessary hospital care. Some services and providers in the Hospital are excluded from the Policy, and financial assistance is unavailable for such services or providers.
Financial assistance is generally determined by a sliding scale of total household Family Income (as defined in the Policy) based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Some patients may be presumptively eligible based on their previous qualification or eligibility for Medicaid or other federal or state indigent care programs.
Patients with Family Income between 0-200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may receive a 100% discount for emergency and medically necessary services. Patients with a Family Income between 201-250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may receive a 60% discount for emergency and medically necessary services. Patients with a Family Income between 251-300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines may receive a 40% discount for emergency and medically necessary services. Eligible patients will not be charged more for emergency and medically necessary services than Amounts Generally Billed to patients with insurance.
Patients seeking financial assistance are required to complete a Lakeland Community Hospital, Inc. Financial Aid Application. Patients may find an application at the link below, the Lakeland Community Hospital registration office located at 42024 Alabama 195, Haleyville, AL 35565, or by calling (205) 485-7151.

Hospital Standard Charges
We encourage patients to find out thoroughly about the cost of their care before coming to the hospital. If you have insurance, you should check with your insurance company to find out if the service is covered and what your copayments and deductibles might be. The same is true if you have Medicare or Medicaid.
If you don't have health coverage, you may qualify for financial assistance. Please see the financial assistance section for more information. For a list of standard charges, click one of the links below:
