Indigent Care Trust Fund rules for disproportionate share hospitals (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 111-3-6-.03)

Some Georgia hospitals get extra state and federal money because they treat many low-income patients. These are called disproportionate share hospitals. As a condition of that money, the hospital must give free care to people with income below 125% of the federal poverty level. Between 125% and at least 200%, it must give free care or use a sliding fee scale. This covers only hospitals in the program, and the duty can stop once the hospital's spending on this care matches the money it got. The state does not post a simple list of which hospitals take part, so this site does not show it as a floor on any hospital's page. Ask the hospital if it takes part in the Indigent Care Trust Fund program.

Income levels in the program are free up to 125%, discount up to 200% of poverty level.

Applies to Georgia hospitals that receive disproportionate share hospital payments from the Indigent Care Trust Fund, public or private.

Ask the hospital's financial counseling or patient accounts office whether it takes part in the Indigent Care Trust Fund program and for its application for free or reduced charge care. Participating hospitals must post how to apply and who to contact with complaints.
