Financial Assistance Program
The Palo Alto Medical Foundation's (PAMF) Financial Assistance Program helps patients who are unable to pay for medically necessary services they have received.
Patients qualify for financial assistance if they have low income and do not have medical insurance to cover the services. Low income is defined as income at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guideline.
If you believe you may qualify for financial assistance, please call Patient Accounting Customer Service at 650-812-3838 to request an application. You may also visit the Patient Services Center on Level 1 of the Palo Alto Clinic to pick up an application.
