What you get

The Hill-Burton Program obligates hospitals and other health facilities that received federal construction grants or loans under the Hill-Burton Act to provide free or reduced-cost care to eligible patients. Obligated facilities must offer a certain amount of uncompensated services each year and cannot refuse care to someone unable to pay. To receive Hill-Burton free care, patients must apply and meet income guidelines — typically at or below the HHS Federal Poverty Level guidelines — at a participating facility.

Help paying for healthcare, prescriptions, coverage, or care services through a public program or approved provider.

Have insurance cards, medical bills, and income documents ready before you call.
