Discharge Planning

After your visit to the emergency department, you may need to see a discharge planner. The discharge planner works with you and your child to help pay for the visit, purchase medication or equipment and help refer you to a local clinic.

Financial Assistance

MemorialCare offers financial assistance to parents and children receiving health care services who do not qualify for Medi-Cal, MSI or other government programs. Our financial assistance program covers medically necessary inpatient (hospitalized) and follow-up services. Depending on eligibility, patients may only be required to pay a portion of their bill.

Clinic / Primary Physician Referral

Your discharge planner will help you choose a local clinic if you and your child do not have health insurance. If your family does have insurance, but need to choose a primary physician, our discharge planner can provide a list of qualified physicians for any follow-up care your child requires.
