Financial Assistance
VHC Health is proud of its not-for-profit mission to provide caring healthcare services to patients 24 hours a day 7 days a week regardless of their ability to pay, doing so in an equitable manner and treating them with dignity, respect, and compassion. To achieve this end, VHC Health has established a program to facilitate the provision of financial assistance to uninsured or underinsured patients for eligible services. Under this program, patients whose household income is less than 200% of the published federal poverty guidelines are provided free care, with respect to the patients’ out of pocket portion of the bill for eligible services.

Standard Charges
Hospitals are required to post a list of standard charges on their website for items and services provided at the hospital. The list of standardized charges are uniformly applied to all patients, however the total charges may vary from patient to patient depending upon the services provided as a result of the patient’s medical condition and any necessary accommodation provided.
While the list of standardized charges is specific to the Hospital, it fails to provide the true cost (patient out of pocket liability) for a procedure as the patient’s balance due will be determined by various characteristics of a patient’s health insurance, such as if the Hospital is “in or out of network” and the deductible, copay and/or coinsurance requirements of a patient’s health insurance plan. Please contact the Managed Care Department at 703.558.5175 if you have any insurance questions.
