How to apply for Henderson County Hospital Reach (OSF Holy Family Monmouth + Burlington IA) — Financial Assistance (Henderson County)

Illinois hospital financial assistance

Who it's for

Henderson County hospital safety net: Oquawka and Stronghurst have no in-county acute hospital; residents are served by OSF HealthCare Holy Family Medical Center (Monmouth, Warren County), which serves Henderson County, and by the Burlington, Iowa hospitals (Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center) just across the Mississippi River. OSF offers a financial-assistance / Community 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://www.osfhealthcare.org/hospitals/holy-family. Phone: 309-734-3141.

Henderson: Henderson = no in-county hospital; OSF Holy Family (Monmouth) + Burlington IA across the river. Illinois LAW mandates hospital financial assistance (free care to ~200-300% FPL).
