How to apply for Warner Hospital & Health Services (Clinton) — Financial Assistance (DeWitt County)

Illinois hospital financial assistance

Who it's for

DeWitt County hospital safety net: Warner Hospital & Health Services (Clinton) is the county's anchor — a county-owned community hospital. It offers a financial-assistance / charity-care program 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://warnerhospital.org/. Phone: 217-935-9571.

DeWitt: DeWitt = Warner Hospital & Health Services (Clinton, county-owned community hospital). Illinois LAW mandates hospital financial assistance (free care to ~200-300% FPL).
