Memorial Hospital Shiloh: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from Memorial Hospital Shiloh? 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: Not published — call the billing department to ask. BJC HealthCare does not publish a separate income cutoff for free care. If your family income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for a discount based on your income and family size — the lower your income, the bigger the discount.
Discounted care: If your family income is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level (and your family income is not over $100,000), you can get a discount on your bill for emergency and medically necessary care.
