Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $2,496

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (58.5% of gross = $2,496).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $1,194 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($3,069) Beats Your Bill

Skyline Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $3,069 (vs. $3,069 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$1,723 Above Fair BaseRate
