Hospital Discounted Care Updates

Uniform Application Coding Error


It has been brought to HCPF's attention that there was an error in Version 2 of the Uniform Application that impacted the Hospital Discounted Care/CICP card. Household members 2-15 were not showing the program code assigned to them (HDC, CICP, or CICP and HDC) and the card was instead returning a #REF value. This has been corrected and Version 2.1 is available on the Hospital Discounted Care website. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 

Office Hours


HCPF is holding office hours every other Wednesday at 9 a.m. No registration is required. The Zoom link and call in information are on the Hospital Discounted Care website.
