Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $4,834

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (66.4% of gross = $4,834).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $1,165 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($6,120) Beats Your Bill

CHI Health Plainview Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $6,120 (vs. $6,120 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Negotiate Toward $322 Fair BaseRate ($275 Medicare)

Your bill ($7,285) is $6,963 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($322) and 26.5× the $275 Medicare rate.
