Contact the Hospitals Financial Assistance Office: Many hospitals have financial aid programs that can help reduce your bills based on your income and financial situation. They may offer payment plans or charity care.
To qualify for this program, you must: Be a resident of Los Angeles County, AND. Earn less than or equal to 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL) (In 2024, for a family of 4, 400% of the FPL is $124,800) - OR - owe the hospital 5% or more of your annual household income, AND.
All hospitals offer discounts or bill forgiveness based on income. On average, a family of 4 earning less than $100,000 a year will qualify. You can apply for financial assistance before or at the time of your hospital treatment or service. You do not need to wait for a bill.
More than half of all U.S. hospitals have medical bill forgiveness programs, but many patients dont know about them. These medical debt relief programs, also called charity care, forgive or decrease hospital bills for people who cant afford to pay their hospital bills.
Starting Jan. 1, a new state law will prohibit health providers and debt collectors from reporting medical debt information to credit agencies. That means unpaid medical bills should no longer show up on peoples credit reports, which consumer advocacy groups say is a boon for patients with debt.
