How to apply for Lawrence County Memorial Hospital (Lawrenceville) — Financial Assistance (Lawrence County)

Who it's for

Lawrence County's hospital is Lawrence County Memorial Hospital in Lawrenceville — a critical-access hospital with emergency, inpatient, surgical, and outpatient services. It offers a Charity Care / financial-assistance program with discounts on a sliding scale for income-eligible 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 through Lawrence County Memorial Patient Financial Services (618-943-1000) or at https://www.lcmhosp.org/.

What you'll need

• Proof of household income
• Proof of Lawrence County / Illinois residency
