Regional West Medical Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Regional West 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: Free care (100% reduction of your balance) if your household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. (Regional West Health Services' system-wide policy.)
Discounted care: Partial discount if your household income is between 201% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
