## State program in Colorado

### Colorado Hospital Discounted Care (C.R.S. 25.5-3-501 et seq., from HB 21-1198)

Colorado law says general and critical access hospitals, their outpatient sites, and freestanding emergency rooms must limit hospital bills for Colorado residents whose household income is at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. You are asked to state that you live in Colorado. The bill can be no more than state set rates, which are about what Medicare or Medicaid would pay, whichever is higher. Payments are split into monthly amounts. A hospital bill can take no more than 4% of your monthly household income, each doctor's bill no more than 2%, and one combined bill no more than 6%. After 36 monthly payments, the rest of the bill is wiped out. Uninsured patients are screened automatically unless they say no. Patients with insurance can ask to be screened. You may qualify even if you are an immigrant. The law does not set an income level for a fully free bill. Each hospital sets its own free care rules, and many go higher than this.

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

Applies to Colorado hospitals licensed as general hospitals (including critical access hospitals), Denver Health and University of Colorado Hospital, freestanding emergency departments, hospital outpatient locations, and licensed health care professionals who bill for care in those places. Federally qualified health centers are excluded.

How to apply. Ask the hospital's financial assistance or billing office for a Hospital Discounted Care screening. The hospital must decide within 21 days of a complete application. You can appeal to the hospital in writing within 30 days, and then to HCPF at hcpf_HospDiscountCare@state.co.us or 303-866-2580.

> Patients who are at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) are eligible for Hospital Discounted Care.
