Lodi Community Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Lodi Community Hospital? 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 if your annual family income is up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Discounted care: If your income is between 251% and 400% of the poverty guidelines, your care is discounted to the amount generally billed to insured patients. (Ohio residents at or below 100% of the guidelines may also get free care through the state's HCAP program.)
