How to apply for Owen County Hospital Reach (IU Health Bloomington) — Financial Assistance (Owen County)
Owen County hospital safety net: Owen County (Spencer) has no in-county acute hospital — residents use Indiana Health Centers' Owen County FQHC for primary care and are served by IU Health Bloomington (Monroe County, to the east) for hospital care, with Greene County General (Linton) to the southwest.
Who it's for
Owen County hospital safety net: Owen = no in-county acute hospital; FQHC for primary care + IU Health Bloomington (Monroe) for hospital care. Indiana hospitals do not have a single state-mandated charity-care law (unlike New Jersey); each runs its own Financial Assistance Program, typically a sliding scale to 200-300% of the Federal Poverty Level, and non-profit hospitals must offer one. Apply at the hospital financial counseling office or at https://iuhealth.org/pay-a-bill/financial-assistance. Phone: 812-353-5252.
