Financial Assistance Policy Summary

Financial Assistance Program

Children's Health℠ dedicates itself to providing high quality, affordable care to every community. To help children receive the care they need, Children's Health provides financial assistance for medically necessary services. Children's Health financial assistance policy provides detailed information about the process for obtaining financial assistance, the eligibility criteria, the types of assistance available, and services available to patients and families with or without Insurance who meet the eligibility requirements.

• Financial Assistance Eligibility

  Patients must be a citizen of the United States or a qualified legal alien, a legal resident in the State of Texas, and have a family income not exceeding 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). Discount rates differ according to relative Family Income by these amounts:

  • Patients with a family income between 301 and 400% of FPG will receive a 70% discount.
  • Patients with a family income between 201 and 300% of FPG will receive an 85% discount.
  • Patients with a family income up to 200% of FPG will receive a 100% discount.

  A person who is eligible for financial assistance will never be charged more for emergency or other medically necessary care than the amounts generally billed to individuals with insurance.
