What is covered
Ask which services the sliding fee covers, such as dental, lab work or medicines.
State program in North Carolina
North Carolina Medical Debt Mitigation Program (NCDHHS, through the Medicaid HASP program)
North Carolina's acute care hospitals agreed with the state health department (NCDHHS) to follow set charity care rules in return for higher Medicaid payments. Every eligible hospital signed on. For North Carolina residents, hospital bills are 100% discounted below 200% of the federal poverty level. Between 200% and 250% the discount is at least 75%. Between 250% and 300% it is at least 50%. The discounts apply to insured and uninsured patients, but hospitals do not have to discount insurance copays. For emergency room care, a hospital may still charge a small fee of up to $35. Since January 1, 2026, hospitals must screen patients and give these discounts without an application when household income looks to be at or below 300% of the poverty level. You may also apply yourself. The rules cover the hospital's own bill, not separate doctor or pharmacy bills. This is a state program agreement, not a state law.
Income levels in the program are free up to 200%, discount up to 300% of poverty level.
Applies to the acute care and critical access hospitals on NCDHHS's list of participating hospitals; North Carolina residents (hospitals may choose to help non-residents).
Most patients should be screened automatically. You can also ask the hospital's financial assistance office to apply under its Medical Debt Mitigation Policy. Each hospital's policy is linked from NCDHHS at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/hospital-financial-assistance-policies/open. Questions: NCDHHS Customer Service Center, 1-800-662-7030.
Discount of 100% for individuals with incomes below 200% FPL.
