Methodist Midlothian Medical Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Methodist Midlothian 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
Free care: Not published — call the billing department to ask. Methodist's published summary doesn't set separate free-care and discounted-care income limits. Instead, it says that if your yearly income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for financial assistance — and the balance you owe is then written off or discounted.
Discounted care: Not published — call the billing department to ask.
