Providence Hospital Financial Assistance: Generous Charity Care

Providence operates 52 hospitals primarily in the western United States and has one of the most generous charity care programs in the industry. Patients with household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level qualify for 100% free care. Those between 300% and 350% FPL may receive partial discounts.

In Washington state, where Providence has a major presence, state charity care laws extend protections even further, with some patients qualifying up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. Providence also performs proactive screening of patients for financial assistance eligibility, meaning you may qualify without even applying.

To apply, contact Providence at 1-866-747-2455 or complete the Financial Assistance Application on their website. Submit with income documentation. Providence's financial counselors can help you navigate the process.

If you received care at a Providence hospital, do not pay the full amount without first checking your eligibility for financial assistance. At 300% FPL, a single individual earning up to approximately $46,800 or a family of four earning up to $96,600 would qualify for free care.
