Warner Hospital And Health Services — Financial Assistance & Charity Care

What Illinois law guarantees

Under Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act (210 ILCS 89), Warner Hospital And Health Services must provide FREE care to uninsured patients at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level, and discounted care for patients up to 300%. The hospital may collect no more than 20% of your yearly family income.

Because Warner Hospital And Health Services is a Critical Access (rural) hospital, Illinois law sets lower limits: free care up to 125% and discounts up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level.

This is the legal minimum — Warner Hospital And Health Services may offer more generous help. The only way to know is to apply, and applying is always free.

Apply within 90 days of receiving your bill — that is the deadline to claim this discount under Illinois law, so apply as soon as it arrives.

How to apply

When you call, say: “I'd like to apply for financial assistance (charity care) for a hospital bill. Can you send me the application and tell me which documents I need?”
