The details, as published
Intermountain Health discounts eligible medically necessary Intermountain bills, including covered care at Primary Children's Hospital, based on family income, household size, medical bills, and hardship. The current policy describes full assistance through 250% of the federal poverty level, a sliding scale above 250% through 500%, and hardship review when medical obligations exceed 25% of family income. A parent or guardian may apply after care begins through MyChart or the current application, but must check every bill because University of Utah or other non-Intermountain clinicians may bill separately.
