Our Patient Financial Advocate Pledge

AAHAM Patient Finacial Advocate N.I.C.E. SealBy taking the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) Patient Financial Advocate Pledge, Brookings Health System agrees to: 

  • Educate patients on healthcare financial language and terms to assist in making informed decisions. 
  • Assist the patient in qualifying for other programs such as medication assistance programs and insurance coverage.
  • Educate patients on hospital financial assistance programs and assist in the application process.
  • Treat all patients equally and fairly.
  • Offer payment plans as an option for balance resolution.
  • Agree that no legal proceedings will be utilized until all other options have been attempted.
  • Ask for feedback to learn how our staff and procedures are perceived to ensure continued quality enhancements.
