Your rights under IRS Section 501(r)

Because nonprofit hospitals are tax-exempt, IRS Section 501(r) requires each one to maintain a written Financial Assistance Policy, make it publicly available, limit charges for FAP-eligible patients to the amounts generally billed to insured patients, and hold off on extraordinary collection actions while an application period (extending at least 240 days after the first post-discharge billing statement) is open. 501(r) does not set a specific income threshold; each hospital's own policy does.
