Financial Assistance

Tanner offers financial assistance to qualifying patients. We understand that some patients may not have insurance or the ability to pay for the care they need. 

Program eligibility requirements

Our Tanner Patient Financial Assistance Program covers payment for medically-necessary care. It does not cover routine co-pays and deductibles for patients who have health insurance coverage unless a hardship is documented. The program also excludes services that are not considered medically necessary, such as cosmetic surgery or fertility services.
