Pih Health Physicians

Financial Assistance, also known as charity care, is defined as free or discounted health services provided to individuals who cannot afford to pay and who meet the eligibility criteria of the organization's financial assistance policy. In providing services to those patients participating in means-tested government health programs, such as Medi-Cal, PIH Health Physicians realizes a collective net loss each fiscal year due to the shortfall created when the payments received from these programs are less than the cost of caring for public program beneficiaries. Number of persons served by financial assistance and means-tested government programs: 11,934
