Hospital bills are built from thousands of codes, and mistakes happen. Many nonprofit hospitals are required by federal tax law to offer financial assistance, yet many patients never hear about it. And the first price on a bill is often a 'list price' that insurers rarely pay. This kit shows you, step by step, what to check and what to ask for, in writing and before the deadlines.

The 240-day rule most patients never hear about
If your hospital is a nonprofit, federal rules (IRS Section 501(r)) generally give you at least 240 days from your first bill after discharge to apply for financial assistance, and limit certain collection actions during the first 120 days. The Bill Clock shows you how to find your dates and what to do before each one.
Day 0
First bill after discharge
Day 120
Certain collection limits
Day 240
Assistance window (at least)
Rules vary by hospital type and state. The kit explains how to check yours.
This kit is for you if…
- You received a hospital, ER, surgery, lab or ambulance bill you weren't expecting.
- Your insurance paid less than you expected, or denied a claim.
- You don't have insurance, or you paid without insurance.
- You're helping a parent with Medicare or hospital bills.
- You'd rather understand the bill before you pay it.
This kit is NOT for you if…
- You want someone else to negotiate for you. (We're a guide, not a service.)
- You need legal advice about a lawsuit. Contact legal aid or an attorney.
- You're looking for a promise of a specific result. No honest guide can promise that.
