Financial Assistance Policy Plain Language Summary
Financial Assistance and Discounted/Sliding Fee Scale
Weeks Health Access is a local financial assistance program to help you with the care you need when you need it most. Patients who meet criteria for participation can receive help with their medical bills for services received at Weeks Medical Center facilities. In addition, if patients further qualify, they may also enroll in our Pharmaceutical Assistance Program, which can provide needed medications at greatly reduced prices. For complete guideline information: Weeks Health Access/NH Health Access Program.
Who qualifies?
Any patients who lives within our catchment area, which includes all of New Hampshire and Vermont and Oxford County, Maine.
How to apply.
Follow these steps:
- Complete financial forms: Financial Assistance application (PDF)
- Submit forms, including NHHA Checklist (PDF) with copies of income (paycheck stubs, Social Security benefit statement).
- Submit copy of a recent tax return
- Submit a copy of liquid assets (checking and or savings account statement, Certificates of Deposits, etc.).
- Sign IRS Form 4506T (PDF)
Is there a cost to me?
There may be a co-pay for medical care or handling charge for the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program. The amount is based on your income and assets. You are expected to present the co-pay at the time you receive service.
What help can I get?
- Bills incurred at Weeks Medical Center for non-elective services with the hospital or doctor’s office (lab, x-ray, room charges)
- Doctor bills for providers employed by Weeks Medical Center
- Weeks applies on your behalf to the drug companies for help with medications. Each company has its own criteria; therefore, approval for participation in the WHA program does not guarantee approval by the pharmaceutical companies.

Hospital Chargemaster
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 Weeks Medical Center posts on an annual basis. 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.
Because of the complexity of hospital billing, and because chargemaster rates are updated periodically, patients should contact our patient financial services staff at (603) 788-5354 for information about the cost of your care.
