State and Local Hospitalization
State/Local Hospitalization (SLH) provides direct payment to hospitals
for individuals who are unable to pay for required medical services.
Medical services covered are limited to:
- Hospitalization
- Outpatient Surgery
- Emergency Room Visits
- Health Department Visits
In-patient and outpatient doctor visits are not covered.
If you know that you are going to be hospitalized or have outpatient
surgery, you can apply for SLH beforehand, or you can apply for
SLH within 30 days of your discharge or the date services were provided.
If funds are available and you are eligible, you will be covered
for 180 days from the date of the application or the date of service.
Funds are limited and usually depleted before the end of the fiscal
year.
