You may qualify for Financial Assistance based on your family size and income, even if you have health insurance. UW Medicine provides financial assistance for any patient/guarantor whose gross family income is up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and adjusted for family size after any third-party coverage has been exhausted.

For facility and/or professional services at Airlift Northwest, Harborview Medical Center, UW Medical Center, UW Physicians, UW Medicine Primary Care, and Valley Medical Center:

• 0% - 300% of the FPL for a 100% financial assistance discount

For facility services only with discharge dates on or after July 1, 2022 at Harborview Medical Center, UW Medical Center, and Valley Medical Center:

• 301% - 350% of the FPL for a 75% financial assistance discount
• 351% - 400% of the FPL for a 50% financial assistance discount

A family size greater than one person refers to persons related by birth, marriage, or adoption who live together; all such related persons are considered members of one family.
