Jones Memorial has new Certified Application Counselor


WELLSVILLE, NY (June 15, 2018) – Navigating the New York State Health Insurance Marketplace for coverage can be an intimidating task. The good news is that Jones Memorial Hospital’s Jaime Gleason is now a New York State of Health Certified Application Counselor. She is available to help you explore the options and find the health insurance that is best for you.
“I like the interaction with patients and helping them find what they need,” she added. “Every person has a different story – I’ve never seen the same situation twice.” If you need help paying your hospital bills or finding health insurance, please contact Jaime Gleason at (585) 596-4040. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged.
For Jaime, this new certification expands her role as a Patient Financial Consultant. “As an application counselor,” she explained, “I help self-pay and uninsured patients find what they need - whether it is applying for Medicaid or one of the many insurance products available through the marketplace.” When she is wearing her patient financial counselor hat, Jaime works with patients to apply for financial assistance or to set up a payment plan to pay their medical bills. In both cases, she works one-on-one with inpatients and outpatients to help them pay for their medical care.
Jaime has been part of the JMH team for nearly six years.
