Updated September 2, 2026. Quick answer: North Carolina DHHS publishes an official downloadable spreadsheet for hospital financial-assistance policy listings.
This guide is limited to the cited North Carolina hospital-assistance source and its stated scope.
What changes in North Carolina
- North Carolina DHHS publishes an official downloadable spreadsheet for hospital financial-assistance policy listings.
- The landing page identifies the spreadsheet as a 17.52 KB XLSX file dated October 10, 2025.
- The same official page reports first publication and last update on October 10, 2025.
Where this rule stops
The archived landing page does not contain the spreadsheet bytes or a statewide eligibility formula; this page may route a reader to the directory but must not invent a threshold, discount, or application deadline.
How to verify before you apply
- Identify the hospital or facility covered by the source and obtain its current policy.
- Ask for the current written policy and application instructions.
- Compare the policy with the official source below before relying on any threshold, discount, or deadline.
