Can't afford a bill from Conemaugh Nason 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

How to apply

1. Check the income limits above — at or below 200% of the poverty level may mean free care; up to 300% may mean a sliding-scale discount.
2. Download the financial assistance application from the charity care page linked above and fill it out with proof of household income.
3. Uninsured patients may first be asked to apply for Medical Assistance; cooperate fully with that process.
