Hospital Discounted Care.
Hospital Discounted Care was created by House Bill (HB) 21-1198. Patients who are at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) are eligible for Hospital Discounted Care. It limits the amounts that low-income patients can be billed for health care services at hospitals and emergency rooms, and it limits amounts billed from providers who work at hospitals and emergency rooms. Hospitals must give patients the chance to apply for discounted care when they receive services at hospitals in Colorado.
You can read the full text of the bill by clicking the link below.
Don’t allow a lack of insurance coverage prevent you from receiving life-saving care. Contact your local hospital’s financial assistance department to get screened for discounted care.
