Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $21,630

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (25.9% of gross = $21,630).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Published Cash: $83,544

Compare Prompt-Pay Cash Rate Against Remaining Deductible

Hartford Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $83,544 (vs. $24,813 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$65,608 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $17,936 Fair BaseRate ($12,807 Medicare)

Your bill ($83,544) is $65,608 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($17,936) and 6.5× the $12,807 Medicare rate.
