How to apply for Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital (Winfield) — Financial Assistance (DuPage County)

Who it's for

DuPage County hospital safety net: DuPage = Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage (Winfield) + Endeavor Edward (Naperville) + Advocate Good Samaritan (Downers Grove). 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.nm.org/patients-and-visitors/billing-and-insurance/financial-assistance. Phone: 630-933-1600.

What you'll need

• Proof of household income
