Financial Assistance
Page Body
We understand some patients and families will require financial assistance in paying for health care. We can help:
- Assist in the completion of a public aid application (MANG) for inpatients
- Connect outpatient families with All Kids, health insurance for Illinois children that covers check-ups, medications, doctor visits and more.
- Refer eligible families to the Division of Specialized Care for Children
- Connect with various social service organizations, such as Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
- Initiate sliding scale arrangements and/or payment plans for deductibles, coinsurance and any other patient responsibility balances
- Offer financial assistance and charity care based on documented need
- Offer a discount to patients without insurance who meet certain criteria and provide help for uninsured patients facing a significant financial burden
To apply for the hospital's financial assistance program, families must cooperate in identifying, applying for and procuring all available payment resources.
