Our Lady Of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, Inc: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Our Lady Of Lourdes Regional Medical Center, Inc? 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 275% of the federal poverty level.
Discounted care: You may still qualify for help if your income is above 275% of the federal poverty level but your medical expenses for the past 12 months were more than 20% of your family income. Underinsured patients are treated the same as uninsured patients.
