How to apply for Union Health + Terre Haute Regional Hospital — Financial Assistance (Vigo County)
Vigo County hospital safety net: Union Health (Union Hospital, Terre Haute) — the dominant Wabash Valley system, free care for households under ~212% of the Federal Poverty Level and discounts under ~311% — plus Terre Haute Regional Hospital (HCA Healthcare; free care under ~200% FPL, expanded discounts to 400%). A 2025 state-approved merger is consolidating the two Terre Haute systems.
Who it's for
Vigo County hospital safety net: Vigo = Union Health (Union Hospital, dominant; free <212% FPL) + Terre Haute Regional (HCA) — merging under a 2025 state approval. 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.
