Atrium Health Financial Assistance Policy & Application
Use the official Atrium Health policy and application links, review published income ranges and provider limitations, then build a qualified action plan. This page does not determine eligibility.
North Carolina statewide program
Statewide participating-hospital discounts may be more important than an older or incomplete system summary.
NCDHHS publishes a 100% discount below 200% FPG, at least 75% from 200–250%, and at least 50% from 250–300% for insured and uninsured North Carolina residents at participating acute-care hospitals. Verify that the facility, service, and bill fall within the current state program and hospital policy.
