Financial Assistance

Based on current Federal Poverty Level guidelines, you may qualify for free or discounted care. Eligibility for financial assistance is based on an evaluation of family income. Patients must meet eligibility requirements and complete an application to qualify.

The level of Financial Assistance, such as Charity Care (no charge to the patient) or Discounted Care (a discount to the patient) is based on several factors: Family Income, the patient’s insurance plan and the type of services the patient received. Different discount policies apply based on the Family Income level and insurance status of the patient. Additional sliding fee discounts may be available at OVHD rural health clinics.

OVHD’s discounted amounts under the Financial Assistance Policy are less than OVHD’s Amount Generally Billed. OVHD will limit charges to a patient eligible for Financial Assistance to the amount of payment the hospital would expect, in good faith, to receive for providing services from Medicare or Medi-Cal, whichever is greater.

Household Income	Patient Responsibility for Emergency Medical Care and Medically Necessary Care
200% or less of the Federal Poverty Level	Zero (Full Charity)
201% to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level	Medicare or Medi-Cal Rate (whichever is higher)
> 400% of the Federal Poverty Level	No Discount
