Elmhurst Memorial Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Elmhurst Memorial Hospital? You may not have to pay all of it. Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance — here are this hospital's actual income limits and how to apply, taken from its own published policy.
Quick facts
Free care: Free care if your household income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (insured and uninsured patients).
Discounted care: Discounted care on a sliding scale if your income is between 201% and 400% of the federal poverty level (insured and uninsured); uninsured Illinois residents with income up to 600% of the poverty level may also qualify for a discount.
