Community Hospital Of Anaconda: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Community Hospital Of Anaconda? 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 (100% off your hospital bill) if your family income is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level.
