Support and Resources
Insurance and Cost of Care
Our dedicated team of billing and insurance specialists will help you navigate and understand your insurance plan. We work with your health insurance provider(s) to determine your prescription and medical benefits. Many insurance plans require special approval before some medications can be dispensed. Our team of experts will guide you and your doctor through this process.
Before you start using our pharmacy services, our insurance team will send you an Insurance Benefit Statement. This statement will have your important insurance information and outline the cost of care you may be responsible for.
Financial Resources
Financial help is available and we can help connect you to financial resources. Examples of financial resources include:
- Drug manufacturer copay cards
- Income-based financial assistance
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center offers a discount to eligible patients for medically necessary services. If your child is a resident of:
- the state of Ohio, or

This discount will automatically be applied to your account and will reflect on your bill. You do not need to complete a financial assistance application in order to receive this discount. If you are applying for 100% Charity Care, then a financial assistance application will need to be completed.
