How to apply for Eskenazi Health (Public Safety-Net Hospital) + IU Health + Community + Ascension St. Vincent — Financial Assistance (Marion County)

Who it's for

Marion County hospital safety net is anchored by Eskenazi Health (Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital) — a PUBLIC safety-net hospital owned by the Health & Hospital Corporation of Marion County (which also runs the Marion County Public Health Department), the Indianapolis equivalent of a public hospital district. Eskenazi offers sliding-scale financial assistance and the Eskenazi Health Advantage program. The county is also served by IU Health (Methodist + University — academic flagship), Community Health Network, and Ascension St. Vincent, each with its own Financial Assistance Program. Indiana hospitals do not have a single state-mandated charity-care law (unlike NJ); each runs its own FAP, typically sliding 0-200/300% FPL. Apply at the hospital's financial counseling office or at https://www.eskenazihealth.edu/billing/financial-assistance.
