State program in Delaware

Delaware hospital financial assistance standards (16 Del. C. 9961 to 9966)

A new Delaware law (Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 13, signed July 20, 2026) sets minimum financial assistance rules for Delaware hospitals. It is not in force yet. Starting January 1, 2027, a hospital must give full financial assistance for medically necessary hospital care to Delaware residents with household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level. Above 300% up to 350%, the bill must be cut by at least 75%. Above 350% up to 400%, the bill must be cut by at least 50%. Hospitals must also have a medical hardship policy with at least a 50% discount when hospital costs reach 10% of yearly household income, with an income ceiling no lower than 500% of the poverty level. You must live in Delaware. Hospitals that give only psychiatric, rehab, or long-term acute care are not covered. Until January 1, 2027, each hospital's own policy decides who gets help, so no income level is stored here yet.

Applies to Delaware hospitals as defined in 16 Del. C. 1001, except hospitals that provide exclusively psychiatric, rehabilitative, or long-term acute care services; Delaware residents only.

Ask the hospital's billing or financial assistance office for its financial assistance application. The new state minimums apply to care starting January 1, 2027.

Full financial assistance for medically necessary hospital services for financially qualified patients with household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level.
