HCA Healthcare and Parkridge Health System are committed to providing high quality and affordable care to all patients in southeast Tennessee, northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama. That commitment is more important than ever, as unemployment and furloughs due to COVID-19 are creating barriers to people accessing and affording health care, said officials.
Officials said that delaying or avoiding critical medical care because of financial barriers can result in serious health complications and even death. That’s why Parkridge is helping connect local residents who are currently unemployed or furloughed with financial assistance to help them access and afford the health care they need.
Anyone in southeast Tennessee, northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama who needs help navigating health coverage while unemployed or furloughed can call the Health Coverage Hotline at (833) 867-8771. Parkridge experts will help guide them through the complicated insurance landscape to find the best option for them and their specific health needs.
