Mcoc provides care to patients who lack financial resources and are deemed to be medically indigent. Mcoc does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as charity care.

Such programs pay providers amounts that are less than billed charges of the services provided to the recipients. Care is provided to those with limited or no ability to pay. The services provided by mcoc, as well as the amount of charity care provided, demonstrates the ongoing commitment of the organization to serve in a leadership role as an advocate for responsive healthcare services for the community, with a deep commitment and sensitivity to meeting the needs of the poor.
