Lafayette Regional Health Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care

Can't afford a bill from Lafayette Regional Health 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 federal poverty level means a 100% charity discount.
2. If your balance is over $1,500 and your income is between 201% and 400% of the federal poverty level, ask about the expanded discount.
3. Gather income documents (pay stubs, tax return) — the hospital will validate income before applying the discount.
4. Contact the hospital to apply; note that Medicare and inpatient accounts must provide income verification.
