Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $12,800

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (9.0% of gross = $12,800).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $105,656 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($36,565) Beats Your Bill

Chilton Medical Center's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $36,565 (vs. $64,595 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Negotiate Toward $30,775 Fair BaseRate ($23,504 Medicare)

Your bill ($142,221) is $111,446 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($30,775) and 6.1× the $23,504 Medicare rate.
