UVA Financial Aid

UVA Patient Financial Services helps uninsured and/or underinsured patients free of charge in obtaining governmental or non-governmental financial assistance to help cover their expenses for necessary medical care. Patients who lack financial resources or who have exhausted their health insurance benefits may be eligible for assistance from UVA. Read our Financial Assistance Policy (PDF).



Check eligibility criteria to see if you may qualify for financial assistance. A completed application in English (PDF) or Spanish (PDF) is required, including documentation of all assets. Or to request an application, call us at 434.924.8718 or 866.320.9659 (toll-free). You can also contact us via email at financialassistance@virginia.edu for additional information.



If you are not eligible for financial assistance you may be eligible for our 20% discount program for uninsured patients. This program applies to most services provided through our facility. If you have health insurance or Workers’ Compensation, if you are negotiating a personal injury settlement with a third party that pertains to the reason you were seen or if you qualify for any other financial assistance program, you are not eligible for an uninsured discount.   

To apply for Virginia Medicaid, contact the Department of Social Services in the city or county where the applicant lives. An application must be completed and signed by the applicant or applicant's legal guardian. An interview is not required.
