What are some reasons I could be denied Hill-Burton care?
The facility may deny your request if: • for non-nursing homes, your income is more than the current poverty guidelines, or more than twice the guidelines if specified in the facility’s allocation plan. For nursing home services, your income is more than the poverty guidelines, or double or triple the guidelines, if specified in the facility’s allocation plan • the facility has given out its required amount of free care as specified in its allocation plan • the services you requested or received are not covered in the facility’s allocation plan • the services you requested or received are to be paid by Medicare/Medicaid, insurance or other financial assistance program • the facility asks you to first apply for Medicaid/Medicare or a financial assistance program, and you do not cooperate • you do not give the facility requested proof of your income, such as a pay stub.
