Indigent Care Clause Samples
The Indigent Care clause establishes the obligations of a healthcare provider or facility to deliver medical services to patients who are unable to pay due to financial hardship. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria for indigent status, the types of services covered, and the process for applying for assistance, such as requiring proof of income or lack of insurance. Its core practical function is to ensure that vulnerable populations receive necessary medical care regardless of their ability to pay, thereby promoting equitable access to healthcare and addressing the problem of uncompensated care.
