New York-Presbyterian Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from New York-Presbyterian 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: Not published — call the billing department to ask. NYP doesn't publish a separate free-care tier. Instead, the lowest income band (at or below 100% of the poverty level) pays small flat copays rather than the full bill — for example, $15 for an adult emergency visit.
Discounted care: Reduced prices on a sliding scale for incomes below 600% of the poverty level, tied to Medicaid rates (for example, 10% of the Medicaid rate at 101–200% of the poverty level). Your charges are capped at the amount generally billed to insurers.
