Catastrophic care

Ask us about catastrophic care if you owe the hospital a lot of money, but your income is too high to qualify for free or low-cost care. It is for people with income that is less than 600% of the Federal Poverty Level and who owe more than 20% of their yearly income to the hospital for out-of- pocket costs. We can help you figure out if this could help.
