Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Boston Medical Center (the "Hospital" or "BMC"), in partnership with its licensed community health centers, will provide high quality, accessible, medically necessary services, without cost or at a reduced cost, to eligible patients.

The Hospital will help uninsured and underinsured individuals apply for health coverage through a public assistance program or the Hospital's financial assistance program (including but not limited to MassHealth, the premium assistance payment program operated by the Health Connector, the Children's Medical Security Program, the Health Safety Net, and Medical Hardship). BMC will not charge patients deemed eligible under the financial assistance policy more than Amounts Generally Billed for emergency or other medically necessary care.

The Hospital provides financial assistance to low-income uninsured and underinsured patients who are Massachusetts residents and with incomes up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level. A Massachusetts resident of any income may qualify for Medical Hardship through the Health Safety Net if allowable medical expenses have so depleted his or her countable income that he or she is unable to pay for health services.
