Payment Plan Options
If you are unable to pay your full balance, West Boca Medical Center offers payment plans to help make larger balances more manageable. Payment plans allow you to break up your total due into smaller monthly payments over 6, 12, 18 or 24 months.
To be eligible for a payment plan, your balance must be at least $100. A 20% down payment is required, with the remaining balance paid over the chosen monthly schedule.

Payment plans allow you to get on a consistent schedule without worrying about coming up with a large lump sum. Just be sure to make your monthly payments on time to avoid penalties or default.
Financial Assistance Options
In addition to payment plans, West Boca Medical Center has financial assistance programs available for those who qualify:
-
Charity care – If you are uninsured or underinsured with a low income, you may be eligible for reduced or free care. This is determined based on a sliding scale based on your Federal Poverty Level.
-
Prompt pay discount – Receive a 30% discount if your balance is paid in full within 30 days of your first bill.
-
Hardship discounts – Special consideration may be given in cases of medical hardship where paying your full balance would be detrimental.
To find out if you qualify for any financial assistance programs, speak to a financial counselor at 561-955-7370. They can review your specific circumstances and help enroll you in any savings programs.
Having affordable medical care is important. Our financial assistance programs exist to help ensure you receive needed care regardless of your financial situation.
Collections Process
If your account becomes severely past due, it may be forwarded to a collection agency. Once an account is in collections, your options and discounts become limited. Avoid collections by staying current on payments or setting up a payment plan if you need assistance.
Our billing staff will make every effort to communicate with you regarding your balance and work out arrangements before resorting to collections. Be sure to respond to any letters or calls from our billing department to prevent avoidance of collections.
Communication is Key
