State program in Vermont

Vermont hospital financial assistance law (18 V.S.A. chapter 221, subchapter 10)

Every licensed hospital in Vermont must have a financial assistance policy that meets state minimums. If you live in Vermont and your household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, the hospital bill is free if you have no insurance, and your out-of-pocket costs are waived if you do. Between 250% and 400%, you get at least 40% off. If your income is at or below 600% and your bills from that hospital are more than 20% of your household income, the hospital must cut what you owe to 20% of your income. The policy covers at least emergency and other medically necessary care. Hospitals have had to follow these rules since July 1, 2024. A hospital may require you to live in Vermont, but not for any set length of time. Immigration status does not count against you.

Income levels in the program are free up to 250%, discount up to 400% of poverty level.

Applies to each hospital licensed under 18 V.S.A. chapter 43, outpatient clinics affiliated with or operating under a hospital license, and licensed ambulatory surgical centers; covers Vermont residents and people living in Vermont without stable housing.

Ask the hospital's billing or financial assistance office for its application. Each hospital must post its policy and application online, give free paper copies, and print a phone number on every bill. The hospital must answer within 30 days. If it says no, you have 60 days to appeal.
