Notes

Exeter does not state its limit as a percent of the poverty level. It uses a dollar table of income plus assets combined: under $50,080 for 1 person, $67,680 for 2, $85,280 for 3, $102,880 for 4, $120,480 for 5, $138,080 for 6, $155,680 for 7, $173,280 for 8. These figures equal 320% of the 2025 federal poverty guidelines (our arithmetic, not the hospital's wording). Below the limit you get 100% help. Uninsured patients then pay small copays ($30 ER or surgery, $50 inpatient, $10 outpatient testing, $15 per 30 days for recurring care). First $7,500 of assets (one person) or $15,000 (family), one car per person and your home are not counted. The plain-language summary also says help does not apply to out-of-pocket costs for insured patients, which conflicts with the policy text; ask. Uninsured patients who do not qualify get a 67.36% discount. Policy effective 12/2025. The policy lists Patient Accounts at 603-580-6627.
