Uncompensated care rule for Certificate of Need holders (22-B DCMR Chapter 44)
DC hospitals that hold a Certificate of Need must give a set amount of free care each year, at least 3% of certain operating costs. A person may qualify for this free care if they cannot pay, their family income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, and the care is not covered by insurance or a government program. The hospital must give a written decision, within 5 business days for outpatient care or before you leave for a hospital stay. The free care is limited to the hospital's yearly amount, so it may not always be available. This rule is mainly for people without coverage for the service, so it is not shown as a floor on hospital pages.
Income levels in the program are free up to 200% of poverty level.
Applies to health care facilities and health services in DC that hold a Certificate of Need with an uncompensated care obligation and operate on a payment for services basis.
Ask the hospital's Admissions or Business Office for uncompensated care. If you think you were wrongly denied, call the State Health Planning and Development Agency (SHPDA) through the Citywide Call Center at 202-727-1000.
Has an annual individual or family income that is not greater than two hundred percent (200%) of the federal poverty level
