Help paying
Can I get help paying?
Most hospitals must offer free or discounted care to people under certain incomes, often even with insurance. Answer two questions to see where you may qualify.
Other ways to get help
- You may also qualify for Medicaid or lower-cost marketplace insurance. Check at HealthCare.gov.
- Community health centers charge on a sliding scale based on income. Find one at findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov.
- Already treated? Most nonprofit hospitals accept applications for months after your first bill.
- Have ready: proof of income (pay stubs or tax return), ID, and your bill if you have one.
