Medical Center Of Aurora, The: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Medical Center Of Aurora, The? 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 household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. (This is an HCA HealthONE hospital in Colorado — HealthONE's Colorado policy is more generous than HCA's national one.)
Discounted care: Expanded charity care if your income is between 251% and 400% of the poverty level — what you owe is capped on a sliding scale. Uninsured patients also get a large automatic discount with no application.
