Determination of Financial Assistance Eligibility: Generally, Eligible Persons are eligible for Financial Assistance, using a sliding scale, when their Family Income is at or below 400 percent of the Federal Government’s Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). Eligibility for Financial Assistance means that Eligible Persons will have their care covered fully or partially, and they will not be billed more than “Amounts Generally Billed” (AGB) to insured persons (AGB, as defined in IRC Section 501(r) by the Internal Revenue Service). Financial Assistance levels, based solely on Family Income and FPG, are:

• Family Income at 0 to 200 percent of FPG - Full Financial Assistance; $0 is billable to the patient.
• Family Income above 200 percent to 400 percent of FPG - Partial Financial Assistance; AGB is maximum billable to the patient.

Note: Other criteria beyond FPG are also considered (i.e., availability of cash or other assets that may be converted to cash, and excess monthly net income relative to monthly household expenditures), which may result in exceptions to the preceding. If no Family Income is reported, information will be required as to how daily needs are met.
