St Mark's Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from St Mark's 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 (a 100% charity discount) may be available if your household income is between 0 and 200% of the federal poverty level.
Discounted care: If your household income is between 201% and 400% of the federal poverty level and your balance is over $1,500, an expanded financial assistance policy may reduce what you owe.
