Financial Information

Financial Services

Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital offers many financial assistance and referral programs to ensure that cost will not be a barrier to anyone in our community getting the healthcare services they need. 

Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital (UCVH) provides eligible patients fully discounted emergency or medically necessary care through UCV Free Care. Certain exclusions apply, including, for example, elective services, balances covered by other funding sources, and failure to cooperate in securing alternative funding sources (including Medicaid, Medicare, Insurance exchange and Employer sponsored insurance). This document is only a summary. Please click here to review our Plain Language Summary or Financial Assistance Policy for complete details.

Assistance Offered and Eligibility

Patients who qualify for assistance receive 100% coverage through UCV Free Care for emergency and other medically necessary services. The necessity for medical treatment of any patient will be based on the clinical judgment of the health care provider without regard to the financial status of the patient. All patients will be treated for emergency medical conditions regardless of ability to pay or to qualify for financial assistance in accordance with federal and state law.

To be eligible for Financial Assistance, patients must qualify based on income as follows:

  • Household annual income does not exceed 300% of the Federal Poverty guidelines, based upon family size.

Patients without insurance, and not eligible for UCV Free Care, will not be charged more than the amounts generally billed to patients who have insurance.

The information provided is a comprehensive list of charges for each inpatient and outpatient service or item provided by a hospital, also known as a chargemaster, which Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital posts on an annual basis.

PLEASE NOTE: Standard charges shown in the chargemaster do not necessarily reflect what a patient ultimately pays for services and therefore may not be a helpful tool to estimate their out of pocket responsibility or to compare hospital costs.

Services rendered may include professional as well as facility charges, which will be listed separately in the chargemaster.
