Cost of participating in government programs: ohtlmc is committed to serving all persons in need, regardless of race, creed, sex, nationality, religion, disability, age or ability to pay. To promote access to care, ohtlmc participates in the following public Health programs: medicaid, medicare, tricare and local Health departments. In general, payments from these programs frequently do not cover the costs ohtlmc incurs to serve program beneficiaries. Uncompensated care and financial assistance: ohtlmc provides Medical care without charge or at reduced cost to residents of the communities that it serves. Ohtlmc's financial assistance program was established to assist patients who do not qualify for Medical assistance programs, like medicaid, and whose annual incomes are at or below certain percentages of the federal poverty guidelines. Ohtlmc is committed to expanding its programs to improve access to Health care in the areas it serves, which include rural and economically depressed areas and areas that lack adequate numbers of primary care and specialty providers. In may 2023, ohtlmc opened its new inpatient 12-bed geriatric behavioral Health unit. The unit is specifically designed to provide mental Health services for the aging population. The goal is to help older adults experience less disruptive behaviors and slow their rate of cognitive decline.
