Baylor University Medical Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Baylor University Medical Center? You may not have to pay all of it. Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance — here are this hospital's actual income limits and how to apply, taken from its own published policy.
Quick facts
Free care: Free care - a 100% discount - if your yearly household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Discounted care: If your yearly household income is between 200% and 500% of the federal poverty guidelines and your Baylor Scott & White bills are at least 5% of your yearly income, you may pay only the lesser of your balance or 10% of gross charges.
