A financial break for COVID-19 patients

Prisma Health has announced the suspension during the COVID-19 crisis of all COVID-19 related patient statements and billing.  Sandy Dees, Prisma spokeswoman, said, “The entire Prisma Health team is committed to meeting the healthcare needs of our communities and want to ensure that patients have access to the care they need.”  If a patient receives treatment related to COVID-19 from Prisma Health, no upfront payments will be required at the time of service.  Until final details with insurance companies, lab partners, state and federal agencies, Prisma is suspending the aforementioned health statements.
