Financial Assistance

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

Even in difficult economic times, St. Joesph's continues to provide care for those who cannot afford to pay. First class care - regardless of race, color, creed, sex, national origin, ancestry or economic status - is our commitment.

The HSHS Financial Assistance Program through St. Joesph's offers financial assistance to eligible persons who have no insurance, do not qualify for government programs, are underinsured, and cannot afford to pay for their health care or member liability under their insurance program.

Eligibility is determined by family income and family size.

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