Any resident of a county with a county hospital may be able to get free care from the hospital if they meet certain conditions.
Iowa law requires county hospitals to provide free care in the hospital. It does not require doctors or other staff who do not work for the hospital to provide free care.
You should check with the business office to see if you may qualify for free care. There is no time limit to apply for free care, so you can even ask that older bills be covered.
If you think you should be able to get free care and are turned down, and cannot resolve the problem with the county hospital on your own, contact your local Iowa Legal Aid office.
