Intermountain Health offers financial assistance to individuals who need help covering medical costs. Financial assistance can apply to bills from Intermountain hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers.

Eligibility is based on family size and gross annual household income in relation to Federal Poverty Guidelines. Intermountain Health may also offer cash discounts for uninsured patients who do not qualify for other assistance programs.

Prior authorization may be required for certain heart and vascular treatments or medications at Intermountain Health. For specific procedures or treatments, it’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm prior authorization requirements.

Scheduling an appointment is easy. However, most new patients will need to be referred from another provider, such as a primary care doctor, before seeing a cardiologist. Patients who have been previously diagnosed or treated for a heart condition may still need a referral.

One of the best ways to find a cardiologist and schedule an appointment with any Intermountain Health doctor or clinic is to use our provider search tool.
