Who qualifies for Cleveland Clinic financial assistance?
Cleveland Clinic uses income-based criteria to determine eligibility for financial assistance. Patients with household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level typically receive the highest levels of support. Those with income between 300% and 400% of the FPL may qualify for partial assistance. Cleveland Clinic reviews each Cleveland Clinic Financial Assistance application individually, considering total household income, family size, and existing financial obligations. Patients who have already incurred medical debt at Cleveland Clinic may also apply retroactively.
