How to apply for Hospital Financial Assistance (Iron County Medical Center, Pilot Knob) — Reynolds

Iron County Medical Center, Pilot Knob — Independent critical-access / county hospital district

Who it's for

Uninsured and underinsured residents of Reynolds County can apply for financial assistance (charity care) at Iron County Medical Center, Pilot Knob for emergency and medically necessary care. Discounts are based on household size and income compared with the Federal Poverty Level. Reynolds County has no operating hospital (Wikipedia's Missouri hospital list still shows a former Reynolds County General Memorial Hospital in Ellington). Iron County Medical Center in Pilot Knob is the nearest hospital to the Centerville/Ellington area; Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center (https://www.pbrmc.com/financial-assistance-program) is the alternative to the south. Nearest-hospital choice is a judgment call, not a cited fact.

Charity care is income-based and set by the hospital's financial assistance policy; the hospital makes the final award decision, so this shows as a may-qualify result.

What you'll need

  • Proof of household income (tax return, pay stubs, or benefit award letter)
  • Proof of family/household size
  • Proof of residency and identification
