Hospitals

Virginia's hospitals provide care to all in the community who need care, regardless of

ability to pay.

Each Virginia hospital and health system

has a financial assistance policy to assist

low-income patients.  These policies detail

who is eligible for free or discounted care. 

Typically eligibility for free or discounted hospital care is based

on the patient’s income level, but other criteria may apply.

Assistance may be available to both uninsured and underinsured individuals.

Find out specifics of a hospital's financial assistance policy: 

Each hospital or health system sets its own policies regarding discounted or free care.  To find out a particular hospital's policy, you can either call the hospital's general information number and ask to speak with the office that handles financial assistance, or you can navigate the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association Price Point system.

The VHHA Price Point system was designed to help patients compare hospitals' prices for specific medical procedures or diagnoses, but it also can be used to get information on a hospitals' financial policy regarding

free or discounted care.
