Patient Financial Assistance
About Our Program
The Aurora Integrated Oncology Foundation (AIOF) and its affiliated treatment centers Anchorage Radiation Oncology Center, Mat-Su Valley Cancer Center, Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center and Southeast Radiation Oncology Center can provide financial assistance to patients who cannot afford necessary medical care at one of our treatment centers. This policy outlines the procedure for applying for financial assistance and ensures our compliance with IRS regulations and the Affordable Care Act. A full version of this policy is available upon request.
Eligibility: Patients must have a household income that is below 300% of the annual poverty line or be able to provide proof of a change to financial status. Patients are required to exhaust all other payment options, including applying for Medicaid. Elective procedures are not eligible for financial assistance.
Application Process: Patients must complete the application for financial assistance as posted on our center’s websites along with the required documentation (e.g., tax returns, bank statements). One of our center’s patient advocates can assist you with this process via phone at 907-302-4845 or via email at financialassistance@radiationbusiness.com. All applications are reviewed within 30 days, and patients may appeal decisions if denied.
Financial Assistance: If eligible, assistance is available for up to 12 months, after which a new application is required. Patients will receive financial help based on their income and assets. Those who qualify will not be charged more than what is generally billed to insured individuals.
Presumptive Eligibility: In cases where patients cannot submit the required documents, eligibility can be determined based on other factors like participation in government programs or life circumstances (e.g., homelessness, receiving SNAP benefits).
Public Awareness: The full version of this policy is available upon request.
The Foundation’s goal is to assist patients who face financial hardship while ensuring fair access to necessary care.
