How do I find out when I was covered with the St. Johns patients assistance program for 2017?

Does that even count when your doing your tax return? Sorry if it's a stupid question it's my first time doing this.

No, it doesn't count, if I'm understanding your question. I believe that you are asking if it matters on your tax return if you received financial assistance for your medical bills in 2017, which wouldn't have an effect on your taxes. You wouldn't be able to deduct any medical expenses that you didn't have to pay for, and this type of assistance doesn't count as medical insurance, but there's no place to enter this information on your tax return.
