How to apply for Morris Hospital (Morris) — Financial Assistance (Grundy County)
Grundy County hospital safety net: Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers (Morris) — an independent, not-for-profit community hospital, the county's anchor with a Financial Assistance Program and patient representatives to screen for coverage. (Illinois hospital financial assistance)
Who it's for
Grundy County hospital safety net: Grundy = Morris Hospital (Morris, independent not-for-profit) — the county anchor. 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.morrishospital.org/patients-visitors/patients/billing-insurance/financial-assistance/. Phone: 815-942-2932.
Grundy: Grundy = Morris Hospital (Morris, independent not-for-profit) — the county anchor. Illinois LAW mandates hospital financial assistance (free care to ~200-300% FPL) — apply even if unsure.
