How to apply for Mason District Hospital (Havana) — Financial Assistance (Mason County)

Who it's for

Mason County hospital safety net: Mason District Hospital (Havana) is the county's anchor — a hospital-district critical-access hospital that owns clinics across the county (nationally recognized for care coordination). It offers financial assistance based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. 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.masondistricthospital.org/. Phone: 309-543-4431.

What you'll need

• Proof of household income
• Proof of Mason County / Illinois residency
• Photo identification
• Proof of uninsured status or insurance gap
• Hospital bill or pre-treatment estimate
