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.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.
What is your household income?
This program requires income at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level — that's the government's measure of what it costs to meet basic needs. Select your household size to see your exact dollar limit.
Count everyone who lives and eats with you — yourself, spouse/partner, children, and any dependents. Count a pregnant woman as 2.
Are you currently receiving services?
Do you receive care at a Hill-Burton obligated hospital, clinic, or health facility?
Hill-Burton obligations end when the facility's obligation is fulfilled — facilities with remaining obligations are listed on the HRSA website?
