Financial Help with Hospital Bills

November 17, 2016

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires nonprofit hospitals to have written policies about how patients who can't afford to pay their bills can get help. They are called financial assistance policies.

The law requires hospitals to give patients a copy of the financial assistance policy. The policy tells you what kind of help you can get and how to apply.
