Waivr makes hospital charity-care policies easier to navigate

Field notes

The lookup collects household size, pretax income, insurance status, and the hospital name; the page says it uses those details to compare a bill with that hospital’s policy. Its nearby search uses ZIP codes and is described as ranking hospitals by biggest savings first. The page cites HHS poverty guidelines, CMS hospital data, and U.S. Census ZIP-area data, and says uncertain policy figures are marked “see policy.”
