Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 274% of 2026 FPL

Above Standard 400% FPL Financial-Assistance Ceiling

At 274% FPL, you exceed the standard 400% FPL tier, though medical-hardship caps (when bills exceed 10% of annual income) may still apply.

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $63,126 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($15,781) Beats Your Bill

University of Kansas Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $15,781 (vs. $20,246 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$65,384 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $13,523 Fair BaseRate ($13,117 Medicare)

Your bill ($78,907) is $65,384 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($13,523) and 6.0× the $13,117 Medicare rate.
