How to apply for OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital — Financial Assistance (Delaware County)
Delaware County hospital safety net: OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital (Delaware — community hospital serving Ohio's fastest-growing and highest-income county). Southern Delaware County also reaches Columbus systems: OhioHealth Riverside, OSU Wexner, Mount Carmel St. Ann's (adjacent Westerville).
Who it's for
Delaware County hospital safety net: Delaware = OhioHealth Grady Memorial (county seat) + Columbus systems to the south. Ohio's fastest-growing county — suburban Columbus retirees plus a rural north half. Ohio's Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP) requires hospitals receiving HCAP funds (essentially all Ohio acute-care hospitals) to provide basic, medically necessary hospital-level services free of charge to Ohio residents at or below 100% FPL; each hospital's own Financial Assistance Program (typically sliding to 200-400% FPL) layers above HCAP. Apply at the hospital financial counseling office or at https://www.ohiohealth.com/billing-insurance/pay-your-bill/financial-assistance. Phone: 614-566-5594.
