Nonprofit hospitals in the United States must offer financial assistance under IRS section 501(r). The problem is that almost none of them clearly tell you the income cut-off, the discount you qualify for, or how to apply. Our charity care finder solves that: enter the hospital that sent your bill, your household size, and your annual income, and you will see the exact federal poverty level threshold, an estimated write-off, the application link, and the deadline.
If you are staring at a hospital bill you cannot afford, the first thing to know is whether you legally qualify for relief. Use the charity care finder above, then read our 501(r) guide for a step-by-step playbook on applying, appealing, and getting refunded for bills you already paid.
