Not covered. Care that is not medically necessary is not covered. Some doctors who work at the hospital bill on their own and are not covered (see Addendum C of the policy).

## Notes

In Kansas the lowest income level (at or below 150% of the poverty level) gets the rest of the bill written off, but a copay stays. That copay is $650 for a hospital stay or same-day surgery, $50 for an outpatient visit, and 15% of CommonSpirit doctor fees. Because of the copay, this page does not list a fully free income level. Uninsured patients who are homeless may have the whole bill forgiven. The hospital counts savings and investments along with income. The bill under this policy will not be more than 25% of yearly income. Apply within 240 days of the first bill after you leave the hospital. Payment plans have no interest. Help with applying is at 888-347-3295 or CSFinancialAssistance.MtRegion@CommonSpirit.org. The posted policy is dated March 2024.
