How to apply for Kendall County Hospital Reach (Northwestern Delnor + Rush Copley + Edward) — Financial Assistance (Kendall County)

Kendall County hospital safety net: Kendall County (Yorkville / Oswego) has no in-county acute hospital — residents are served by Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital (Geneva, Kane County), Rush Copley Medical Center (Aurora), and Endeavor Health Edward Hospital (Naperville), all a short drive away. (Illinois hospital financial assistance)

Who it's for

Kendall County hospital safety net: Kendall = no in-county hospital; served by Northwestern Delnor (Geneva) + Rush Copley (Aurora) + Edward (Naperville). 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: 630-208-3000.

Kendall: Kendall = no in-county hospital; served by Northwestern Delnor (Geneva) + Rush Copley (Aurora) + Edward (Naperville). Illinois LAW mandates hospital financial assistance (free care to ~200-300% FPL) — apply even if unsure.
