AMORY â Through a memorandum of understanding with the City of Amory regarding the 340B plan, North Mississippi Medical Center Gilmore-Amory will use savings to help cover the cost of uncompensated and unreimbursed care for uninsured and low-income patients.
The board of aldermen recently approved for Mayor Brad Blalock to sign the memorandum of understanding between the city and hospital.
âUnder our agreement, the hospital is making a commitment to continue to provide health care to indigent, uninsured and underinsured residents of the City of Amory,â said city attorney Sam Griffie. âThe hospital also agrees to provide patients with emergency services, regardless of the patientâs ability to pay. The main benefit of the program, in my opinion, is that it helps the hospital provide outpatient drugs and services to low-income, uninsured and indigent individuals of our community.â
