State health coverage. Adults 19 to 64 qualify with income at or below 133% of the poverty level. Most hospital financial assistance policies in the Philadelphia area require you to apply for Medical Assistance first. This is insurance, not a hospital discount program, so it sets no hospital charity care threshold.

Applies to people, not hospitals. We have not confirmed whether it applies to for-profit hospitals like this one. Ask the billing office.

How to apply. Apply online through COMPASS or at your County Assistance Office. Hospital financial counselors can help you apply.

Applies to eligible hospitals (payments to hospitals). We have not confirmed whether it applies to for-profit hospitals like this one. Ask the billing office.
