MD Save – making high-quality healthcare affordable

Helping to make high-quality healthcare as accessible and affordable as possible is something East Jefferson General Hospital has always made a priority. We have always had our “Patient Financial Services Department” here to help then in 2018 when we launched “MD Save” it proved to be a tremendous asset to many in our community. In providing transparent, cash pricing on hundreds of tests, and/or procedures, our goal is to provide the most options possible so you can access the care you and your family needs. For many with high deductibles, this cash option is a better choice.
