## State laws that protect patients

### Price cap for uninsured hospital patients (RSA 151:12-b)

If you have no insurance of any kind, a New Hampshire hospital must accept no more than what it generally gets paid for the same service by insured patients. The hospital must tell you this in writing before care and on the bill. This covers every hospital, including for-profit and psychiatric hospitals. It is a price limit. It does not set any income level for free care.

> a hospital shall accept as payment in full an amount no greater than the amount generally billed and received by the hospital for that service

### Charity care policy rules for nonprofit hospitals (RSA 7:32-c to 7:32-l)

Nonprofit hospitals (health care charitable trusts) must file community benefit plans. Charity care counts toward that plan only if the hospital has a written public policy, lets anyone apply, gives a prompt decision, and posts a notice. The law does not set an income level.

> Is provided in accordance with a written policy which is available to the public, which allows any individual to make application and receive a prompt decision
