The Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted into law on March 23, 2010, added Section 501(r) requirements to the Internal Revenue Code that a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt hospital must satisfy to maintain tax-exempt status. The financial assistance policy (FAP) is a requirement mandated by the ACA and implemented as part of the IRS. As per IRS 501(r), an FAP must apply to all medically necessary care provided by the hospital.
Why do I qualify for free care?
Non-profit hospitals benefit by over $30 billion dollars per year by using IRS 501 tax code non-profit tax strategy. As a result, they are also required to give back care to the working poor in their communities via the financial assistance policy (FAP). A family of four with a household income of up to $53,000 is entitled to free care.
Your care is almost always free below the household salary levels displayed, and sometimes still discounted significantly for households with double the income listed below.
