Please read this disclaimer carefully before relying on anything published on FairMedicalBills.
Not legal, medical or financial advice
Everything on this site is general information for a general audience. It is not legal, medical or financial advice, and reading it does not create a professional relationship of any kind. What applies to your bill depends on your insurance, your income and household size, the state you were treated in, the date of service and the provider’s own policies.
Not a hospital, insurer or government agency
FairMedicalBills is an independent news and information publication. We are not a hospital, health system, medical provider, insurance company, government agency, law firm, collection agency or debt settlement company, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
We do not process financial assistance applications, decide eligibility, negotiate with providers, or issue refunds. Those decisions belong to the hospital, provider, insurer or agency involved.
No promise of any outcome
Nothing on this site guarantees that you qualify for financial assistance, that a bill will be reduced or forgiven, that an appeal or dispute will succeed, or that a refund will be issued. We describe programs and protections that may exist and the steps you can take.
Hospital information changes
Financial assistance policies, income limits, application forms and deadlines change, and hospitals do not always announce it. Each directory entry shows the date we last checked it. Always confirm current requirements with the hospital, provider, insurer or the relevant state agency before relying on them.
Accuracy
We aim to be accurate at the time of publication and work from primary documents wherever possible, but we make no warranty that information here is complete, current or applicable to your circumstances.
External links
We link to hospitals, agencies and other third parties for verification. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FairMedicalBills is not liable for any loss arising from reliance on information published here, including missed deadlines, denied applications, or decisions made on the basis of our reporting.
