These national organizations and resources listed may offer financial
assistance. Also check with your local support organizations, churches,
and social services, as many have financial funds for local citizens in need.
Families should discuss any concerns they may have about healthcare costs
with their physician, medical social worker, or the business office of
their hospital or clinic. Depending on your circumstances, hospitals can
reduce bills and set up monthly payment plans.

Income Tax Deductions
Services Offered: Medical costs that are not covered by insurance policies
sometimes can be deducted from annual income before taxes. Examples of tax
deductible expenses might include mileage for trips to and from medical
appointments, out of pocket costs for treatment, prescription drugs or equipment,
and the cost of meals during lengthy medical visits. The local IRS office, tax
consultants, or certified public accountants can determine medical costs that are
tax deductible. These telephone numbers are available in the local telephone
directory.
