York Hospital — Financial Assistance & Charity Care
York, York County, ME
Under Maine law, York Hospital must offer free care to eligible low-income and uninsured patients. Here's what the law guarantees — and how to apply.
What Maine law guarantees
Under Maine's hospital financial assistance law (22 M.R.S. §1716-A), York Hospital must provide FREE care to uninsured patients at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
This is the legal minimum — York Hospital may offer more generous help. The only way to know is to apply, and applying is always free.
Even if your income is above the free-care limit, Maine law still protects you: for households up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, York Hospital must offer a payment plan capped at 4% of your monthly income — ask for it.
