🌟 Introducing the Samaritan Fund Program for MSU Employees and Dependents

Samaritan Fund Program

Missouri State University is excited to launch the Samaritan Fund Program, a new initiative designed to provide financial relief for employees and their dependents facing severe medical conditions. The program helps individuals find funds to cover out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Participation is voluntary, and employees are not required to enroll—but you can see if you qualify with no obligation.

💡 Key Features

  • Voluntary Participation: You choose whether to enroll.
  • Financial Assistance: Helps cover high out-of-pocket medical expenses related to severe conditions.
  • Insurance Support: The program can enroll you in an individual health insurance plan and provide financial assistance to help eliminate out-of-pocket costs for insurance premiums and medical care.
  • Eligibility: The program can assist in identifying a health plan that best fits your needs and, if approved, help cover medical expenses or provide support for premiums on individual health insurance plans.
  • Funding: If deemed an ideal candidate, approved funds will be sourced directly through the Samaritan Fund to assist you and your healthcare providers.
  • Confidential Process: Work directly with a program representative in a private, secure manner.
