What services are covered under the Hill-Burton program?
Each facility chooses which services it will provide at no or reduced cost. The covered services are specified in a notice which is published by the facility and also in a notice provided to all persons seeking services in the facility. Services fully covered by a third-party insurance or a government program (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid) are not eligible for Hill-Burton coverage. However, Hill-Burton may cover services not covered by the government programs. Private pharmacy and private physician fees are not covered by this program. However, services provided by physicians hired by the facility may be covered under the Hill-Burton program if included in the published notice (Allocation Plan).
