Erie Needs Your Support!
More than 85 percent of our patients live below the poverty level, and almost 35 percent are uninsured. Erie charges a flat fee of $30 per visit for uninsured patients. But we collect only about $20 per visit — and our average cost per visit is $198. To make up the difference, we rely on the generous support of individuals, foundations and corporations as well as public funding. Help us bridge the gap!
