What is covered

Ask which services the sliding fee covers, such as dental, lab work or medicines.

State program in Ohio

Hospital Care Assurance Program (Ohio Revised Code 5168.14 and Ohio Administrative Code 5160-2-17)

Ohio law says hospitals that get state Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP) funds must give basic, medically necessary hospital care free of charge to some patients. You may qualify if you live in Ohio, are not on Medicaid, and your household income is at or below the federal poverty level (100%). The law covers general medical and surgical hospitals and children's hospitals. It does not cover transplants. You must fill out and sign an application with proof of income and family size. Many people at this income can also get Medicaid, so the hospital may ask you to apply for it. HCAP covers only the hospital's own bill. Doctors who bill separately are not covered. Many hospitals offer more help than this under their own policy, so ask about both.

Income levels in the program are free up to 100% of poverty level.

Applies to nonfederal Ohio hospitals registered as general medical and surgical or pediatric general hospitals (and Medicare-recognized cancer hospitals) that receive HCAP funds; Ohio residents who are not Medicaid recipients.

Ask the hospital's billing or financial assistance office for an HCAP application. Fill it out, sign it, and include proof of your income and family size. Hospitals must post signs about HCAP in admissions, the business office, and the emergency room.

shall provide, without charge to the individual, basic, medically necessary hospital-level services
