## State program in Oklahoma

### Discount program for self-pay patients (63 O.S. 1-723.2)

Every hospital in Oklahoma must have a discount program for patients with no hospital insurance whose household income is up to 300% of the federal poverty level. With the discount, the bill can be no more than what Medicare would pay, or the hospital's cost for the care, whichever is higher. This is a price cap. It does not make the bill free. It does not cover patients who have or can get insurance with hospital coverage, and it does not cover care the treating doctor says was not medically necessary. You have to show the hospital you meet the rules. If the hospital sues you over the bill, you can raise this law as a defense.

Income levels in the program are discount up to 300% of poverty level.

Applies to each hospital in Oklahoma, for self-pay patients who are not eligible for or enrolled in insurance with hospital coverage.

How to apply. Ask the hospital's billing or financial assistance office for its self-pay discount program. Bring proof of household income and be ready to show you have no insurance with hospital coverage.

> Each hospital in this state shall establish a discount program for hospital charges for qualified self-pay patients
