Determination of Financial Assistance Eligibility
Willis Knighton Health will use the current federal poverty guidelines to determine patient’s eligibility to receive financial assistance. Individuals qualifying for financial assistance will not be charged more than the average generally billed for emergency or other medically necessary care. Patients whose family income is 200% or less of the federal poverty guideline will be eligible for fully discounted charges. Patients whose family income exceeds 200% but no more than 400% of the federal poverty guideline are eligible to receive financial assistance equal to 76% of gross charges.
