2. Household Annual Income ($) Screened against 2026 HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines

Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 501(r) AGB Cap: $33,777 (274% FPL)

Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $33,777

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (28.2% of gross = $33,777).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Published Cash: $119,607

Compare Prompt-Pay Cash Rate Against Remaining Deductible

Chinese Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $119,607 (vs. $21,020 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$100,520 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $19,087 Fair BaseRate ($14,117 Medicare)

Your bill ($119,607) is $100,520 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,087) and 8.5× the $14,117 Medicare rate.
