Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 501(r) AGB Cap: $38,085 (274% FPL)

Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $38,085

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (58.2% of gross = $38,085).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $13,083 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($52,333) Beats Your Bill

Fhn Memorial Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $52,333 (vs. $15,110 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

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

Your bill ($65,416) is $46,329 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,087) and 4.6× the $14,117 Medicare rate.
