Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 501(r) AGB Cap: $18,443 (274% FPL)

Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $18,443

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (67.1% of gross = $18,443).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $13,743 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($13,743) Beats Your Bill

Huggins Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $13,743 (vs. $13,743 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$14,073 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $13,413 Fair BaseRate ($13,117 Medicare)

Your bill ($27,486) is $14,073 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($13,413) and 2.1× the $13,117 Medicare rate.
