Robert Wood Johnson Financial Assistance: 2026 Income Limits

Financial Assistance Eligibility at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital

Patients at or below 200% FPL qualify for full financial assistance — $0 billable — which also satisfies New Jersey's state-mandated Charity Care program. Between 201% and 299% FPL the bill is discounted. From 300% to 500% FPL the most you can be billed is the lesser of 110% of Medicare or the Amounts Generally Billed to insured patients. The policy covers emergency and medically necessary care at RWJBarnabas Health hospitals; services billed separately by other entities — including RWJ Health Network Ambulance Service — are not part of it, so ask about those bills directly.
