State program in California

Hospital Fair Pricing Act (Health and Safety Code 127400 et seq.)

Every licensed general acute care, acute psychiatric, and special hospital in California must have a charity care policy and a discount payment policy. A patient can ask for help if they are uninsured (self-pay) or have high medical costs, and their family income is not more than 400% of the federal poverty level. Hospitals may choose to help people with higher incomes. With a discount, the bill is capped at about what Medicare or Medi-Cal would pay, whichever is greater. You can apply at any time, even after a bill goes to collections. Immigration status does not affect eligibility.

Income levels in the program are discount up to 400% of poverty level.

Applies to each licensed general acute care hospital, acute psychiatric hospital, and special hospital in California.

Apply to the hospital's financial assistance office. Each hospital's policies and applications are posted on its website and on HCAI's Hospital Fair Pricing Policy Lookup (https://hcai.ca.gov/affordability/hospital-fair-billing-program/hospital-fair-pricing-policy-lookup/).

You must have applied to the hospital first for HCAI to review an eligibility decision. If HCAI finds you paid too much, the hospital must refund you within 30 days. It covers problems on or after January 1, 2022. It does not handle general billing disputes, price transparency, Good Faith Estimates, or bills from emergency room doctors.

Applies to complaints about any hospital covered by the Hospital Fair Pricing Act.

Emergency physician discount rule

Most hospital policies cover only the hospital's own bill. Emergency room doctors often bill separately. California law also requires an emergency physician to give discounts to uninsured patients and patients with high medical costs whose family income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty level. Ask the doctor group's billing office for its discount policy. HCAI's complaint program does not handle emergency doctor bills.

Income levels in the program are discount up to 400% of poverty level.

Applies to emergency physicians who provide emergency medical services in a California hospital that provides emergency care.

Ask the emergency physician group named on the bill for its discount payment policy.

an emergency physician who provides emergency medical services in a hospital that provides emergency care is also required by law to provide discounted care

Notes

Free care at or below 400% of the poverty level for people with no insurance. Insured people at or below 400% get their share of the bill written off if their medical costs in the past year are over 10% of family income, or if their benefits ran out. The policy offers free care only. It has no partial discount tier, so the discount cap is set equal to the free care cap. Savings are not counted. There is no deadline to apply. Approval lasts one year. Mail applications to Anaheim Community Hospital, 3350 West Ball Road, Anaheim, CA 92804, Attn Business Office Manager. To dispute a denial, tell the CFO, by phone or in writing, within 30 days. Patient Financial Services also lists (714) 243-9043 for appeals and help with Medi-Cal. The language list is for interpreters, and the policy says the documents may be available in your language.
