Marymount Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Marymount 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 at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Discounted care: If your annual family income is between 251% and 400% of the federal poverty guidelines, your care is discounted down to what insured patients are generally billed. You can also get help if a hospital bill is more than 25% of your annual family income.
