Financial Assistance Programs
Financial Assistance
The University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System provides financial assistance for uninsured patients who meet certain requirements. The first step is to see if you qualify for any available programs that would cover your medical care -
GET Insured
Should you not qualify for other insurance programs, we determine the level of discount that you will receive based on your income in comparison to current Federal Poverty rates.
UI Health's financial assistance programs are designed for uninsured patients and do not offer any discounts on coinsurance, deductible, or oth­­er out-of-pocket expenses for patients with third-party insurance.  Available assistance programs include Charity Care, Catastrophic Loss Claims, and the Uninsured Patient Discount. The Uninsured Patient Discount Program provides a discount for uninsured patients who demonstrate a financial need and may not otherwise qualify for Charity Care. The discount applies to self-pay patients who are receiving medically necessary services and do not qualify for other funding programs. The patient or guarantor must request the discount within 240 days of receiving an invoice from UI Health. Other terms and conditions apply. Patients can request this discount by contacting 312.996.1000 or the phone number on the patient statement if they have received a bill.
