How to apply for Memorial Health — Taylorville Memorial Hospital — Financial Assistance (Christian County)

Who it's for

Christian County hospital safety net: Taylorville Memorial Hospital is the county's anchor — a Memorial Health critical-access hospital (the Pana area also reaches HSHS hospitals). Memorial Health offers a Patient Financial Assistance / Community Care program with free or discounted care for low-income and uninsured patients. DISTINCTIVE to Illinois: state law (the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act + Fair Patient Billing Act) REQUIRES hospitals to provide financial assistance — uninsured patients at or below 200% (rural/critical-access) or 300% (urban) of the Federal Poverty Level generally receive free care, with capped discounts above that. Most Illinois hospitals have a robust charity-care policy as a result. Apply at the hospital financial counseling office or at https://www.memorial.health/patients-and-visitors/billing-and-insurance/financial-assistance. Phone: 217-824-3331.

What you'll need

• Proof of household income
• Proof of Christian County / Illinois residency
