Community Involvement
Financial Assistance
More than 740,000 people in Maryland have no health insurance. Many cannot
get the care they need for urgent or chronic health problems because they
cannot afford it.
Holy Cross Hospital is committed to reducing financial barriers to health
care services for people who are poor or underinsured. Our financial assistance
policy provides a systematic and equitable way to provide necessary services
free of charge or at reduced charges to individuals who meet certain financial
criteria and are unable to pay.
The Maryland Health Insurance Plan
The Maryland Health Insurance Plan (MHIP) is state-administered health
insurance that makes coverage available to residents who do not otherwise
have access to health insurance.
Holy Cross Hospital embraces this alternative to traditional insurance.
Our financial counselors identify patients who may be eligible and work
with them toward enrollment.
Holy Cross Hospital is a member of Trinity Health, one of the largest
health systems in the country. With support from Trinity Health, Holy Cross
Hospital created an innovative premium assistance program that pays half
or the full premium for people who are financially eligible.
