How to apply for Southern Indiana Community Health Care — Sliding Fee Scale (Crawford County)

Who it's for

Crawford County has no hospital of its own. The in-county safety net for people who cannot afford care is Southern Indiana Community Health Care, a federally qualified health center with clinics in English at 307 South Indiana Ave (812-338-2924) and Marengo at 5604 East White Oak Lane (812-365-3221). SICHC discounts medical and behavioral health visits on a published sliding fee scale based on family size and income. Anyone admitted to a hospital should ask that hospital's financial counselor about its own financial assistance program; Harrison County Hospital in Corydon is the nearest.

What you'll need

• Proof of household income for everyone in the family (pay stubs, Social Security award letter, tax return)
• Proof of family size
• Photo identification
