Sabetha Community Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Sabetha Community 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: Free care (fully discounted) if you are uninsured or underinsured and your income is under 100% of the federal poverty level.
Discounted care: The program can also give partial discounts for medically necessary care, but the hospital does not publish the income limits for partial discounts on its website — call Patient Financial Services to check.

How to apply
- Check the income limit above — free care is for patients under 100% of the federal poverty level.
- Apply for Medicaid (KanCare) first — the hospital requires a Medicaid application before approving financial assistance.
- Complete the Personal Financial Statement for Financial Assistance and gather income proof (tax return or 90 days of pay stubs, bank statements, and a Medicaid response).
- Submit the application to the hospital billing office (PO Box 229, Sabetha, KS 66534); if approved, medical bills for the next 6 months are covered.
Good to know
- You can apply up to 240 days after your first bill — even if the bill already went to collections.
