Holy Family Hospital Patients & Guests Patient Financial Services Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance

Caring for the sick and injured, regardless of the ability to pay.

Holy Family offers the Financial Assistance Program to all patients who show financial need. Holy Family has designated funds to aid patients who are unable to pay their obligation in full. Eligibility requirements have been set for those who request financial assistance. The guidelines are not meant to discourage anyone from seeking treatment. But they are designed to ensure the hospital’s resources are used for the people who need them most and who are the least able to pay.

Eligibility is determined by family income and family size.

 

Income guidelines for eligibility are adjusted annually based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines established by the United States Department of Health and Human Services and published periodically in the Federal Register.  These guidelines are subject to change without notice. 

To view current guidelines, please visit our HSHS Financial Assistance Program web page and select the Financial Assistance Brochure for the Illinois Single Billing Office.
