What Are Ability-to-Pay Programs?

Ability-to-Pay Programs, often called Financial Assistance or Charity Care Programs, are initiatives offered by hospitals and clinics to reduce medical bills for patients based on their income. They provide a crucial safety net for individuals who may not qualify for Medicaid but still struggle to afford healthcare costs.
