You may qualify for help with your hospital bill. Even with insurance. Even after the bill has arrived.
Most nonprofit hospitals are required to offer financial assistance, sometimes called charity care. Research by the nonprofit Dollar For found that 51% of patients who could qualify for hospital financial assistance never apply. We find your hospital's policy, check whether you are likely to qualify, and prepare your application ready to submit. $99.

This is for you if
- Cannot afford the bill
- Insured but still stuck
- Might qualify by income
THE PROBLEM, IN THE BUYER'S WORDS
The income limits are more generous than most people assume, and the help is real. The problem is that almost nobody is told about it.
In the same Dollar For research, 52% of patients say their hospital never told them financial assistance existed. The policy sits buried on a webpage. The form wants documents nobody keeps handy. The deadline passes quietly.
So half the people who could get help never apply. Not because they were refused. Because nobody told them.

Questions
Often, yes.
Eligibility usually rests on your income and household size, not on whether you are insured. Plenty of insured people qualify for help with what insurance left behind.
No.
Approval is the hospital's decision under its own policy. What we make sure of is that your application is complete, accurate, and gives you your best chance.
