Compassionate Care Program for the Uninsured and Underinsured
Uninsured patients or patients whose insurance doesn’t cover NUNM services are invited to apply to NUNM’s Compassionate Care Program. This program offers a schedule of discounts based on a person’s annual household income and is adjusted for dependents. Discounts are determined after an application is completed and income is verified. If you would like to join our Compassionate Care Program, please ask for an application at your first visit. The Compassionate Care Program is not insurance and is subject to change at any time at NUNM’s discretion. Not all services offered are subject to discount.
Please visit the clinic front desk if you have any questions about our program.
