A nonprofit hospital has to have a written financial-assistance policy, and it has to tell you about it. That is the federal rule for tax-exempt hospitals. Whether your hospital is one is a matter of public record, and you can check it before there is a bill. Type the name the way it appears on the bill or the building, pick the right one, and the answer is here. Then ask the billing office for the application.
Already have the bill? Upload it; BillFighter prepares the financial-assistance application. The hospital decides.
Check your bill — freeThe check is free. The letter is the paid part: you print and mail it yourself, or we send it by certified mail for you. No account needed to start.
This is the general rule, in plain words. BillFighter is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. If you have been served with court papers, that is the day for a lawyer or legal aid.
