What is covered

State program in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (Medicaid)
State health coverage. Adults 19 to 64 qualify with income at or below 133% of the poverty level. Most hospital financial assistance policies in the Philadelphia area require you to apply for Medical Assistance first. This is insurance, not a hospital discount program, so it sets no hospital charity care threshold.
Applies to people, not hospitals.
Apply online through COMPASS or at your County Assistance Office. Hospital financial counselors can help you apply.
Adults ages 19-64 with incomes at or below 133 percent of the Federal Income Poverty Guidelines (FPIG)

Hospital Uncompensated Care Program (Tobacco Settlement Act, Act 77 of 2001, Chapter 11)
A state program that pays eligible hospitals for part of the uncompensated care they give, including charity care. It pays hospitals, not patients. The law defines charity care by each hospital's own charity care policy and sets no patient income limit. Whether the program is still funded today was not checked.
Applies to eligible hospitals (payments to hospitals).
Patients do not apply. Apply to the hospital's own financial assistance program.
