How to apply for OSF Saint Luke Medical Center (Kewanee) + Hammond Henry Hospital (Geneseo) — Financial Assistance (Henry County)

Who it's for

Henry County hospital safety net: OSF Saint Luke Medical Center (Kewanee) is a nonprofit OSF HealthCare hospital, and Hammond Henry Hospital (Geneseo) is a county hospital-district facility serving the north of the county. Both offer financial-assistance / charity-care programs for low-income and uninsured patients; the Quad Cities hospitals also serve the northwest of the county. 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/saint-luke. Phone: 309-852-7500.
