Financial assistance is available to patients who have limited income, have no health insurance or are underinsured. You cannot be denied medically necessary care because you need financial assistance. ​You may apply for a discount regardless of immigration status.

​

Everyone in New York State who needs emergency services and non-emergency, medically necessary services at Stony Brook University Hospital can receive care and may be eligible for assistance based on income limits that have been established by federal guidelines.

​

All medically necessary services provided by the Stony Brook University Hospital are covered by the discount. This includes outpatient services, emergency care and inpatient admissions.

​

Charges from private doctors who provide services in the hospital may not be covered. Talk to your private doctors to see if they offer a discount or payment plan.

​
