Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 501(r) AGB Cap: $5,038 (274% FPL)

Statutory 501(r) AGB Cap Limits Bill to $5,038

At 274% FPL (201%–400% FPL tier), 26 U.S.C. § 501(r)(5) caps FAP-eligible bills at Amounts Generally Billed (34.2% of gross = $5,038).

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $8,086 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($6,646) Beats Your Bill

Hudson Hospital's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $6,646 (vs. $8,651 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$6,509 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $8,223 Fair BaseRate ($5,676 Medicare)

Your bill ($14,732) is $6,509 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($8,223) and 2.6× the $5,676 Medicare rate.
