Hill-Burton Program
Under the Hill-Burton Program, a number of hospitals and other medical facilities receive funds from the federal government so they can offer free or low-cost services to those who are unable to pay. Each facility chooses which services it will provide at no or lowered cost. Medicare and Medicaid services aren't eligible for Hill-Burton coverage. However, Hill-Burton may cover services not covered by other government programs. Eligibility for Hill-Burton is based on family size and income. You may apply for Hill-Burton assistance at any time, either before or after you receive care. Call the Hill-Burton Program for more information on this program. (See Resources section for phone numbers.)
