Oregon law
In Oregon, state law asks hospitals to offer at least these levels of help, by household income. It covers: Nonprofit hospitals and their nonprofit affiliated clinics (the discount levels); hospitals licensed in Oregon (the screening).
- At or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines: The patient’s share after insurance is free.
- At or below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines: The patient’s share after insurance is reduced by at least 75%.
- At or below 350% of the federal poverty guidelines: The patient’s share after insurance is reduced by at least 50%.
- At or below 400% of the federal poverty guidelines: The patient’s share after insurance is reduced by at least 25%.
- These discounts are for nonprofit hospitals and their nonprofit affiliated clinics.
- Every hospital licensed in Oregon must also screen patients who are uninsured, on the state medical assistance program, or owe more than a set amount for one visit or stay, before sending a bill.
Read on October 11, 2026 from Oregon Health Authority: hospital statutes and rules. A hospital’s own policy may give more. To see where your household falls, use the free charity care check.
Federal rules for nonprofit hospitals
- A nonprofit hospital must have a written financial assistance policy. There is no federal income level: the policy sets its own criteria.
- It must accept applications for at least 240 days after the first bill sent after you leave.
- For patients it finds eligible, charges for emergency and other medically necessary care are limited to the amounts generally billed to people with insurance.
- These rules apply to hospitals recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), including government hospitals with that status.
More in the hospital charity care guide.
What to ask the billing office
- Ask for the financial assistance policy, the application and the plain language summary.
- Ask which income limit applies to your household and what counts as income.
- Ask whether the doctors who treated you are covered by the policy or bill separately.
- Ask until when you can still apply for the bill you have, and ask for the answer in writing.
The free financial assistance letter asks for all three papers. Denied? How to appeal or reapply. Already paid? How applying after you have paid works. Compare large health systems on the hospital list.

The list of hospitals, their towns, counties and ownership come from Hospital General Information (CMS Provider Data Catalog), modified 2026-07-22. Ownership is CMS’s label, not a tax ruling. We left out the 2 hospitals the CMS file lists under federal ownership, such as VA and military hospitals.
Each figure comes from the hospital’s own policy, which every figure links to, with the policy’s words and the day we read it (2026-11-09). We used AI reading tools, and a second independent check compared each quote and figure with the policy text. A figure that was not confirmed is left out. Dollar amounts use the 2026 federal poverty guidelines for the 48 states and Washington, DC (91 FR 1797).
We are not part of any of these hospitals. Policies change, and the hospital decides from its own form, with conditions such as assets or residency that the policy sets. If what you read here differs from the current policy, the policy counts. A correction? Tell us on the Support page.
