Financial Assistance and Discount Programs

Rockford Health System provides health care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay for such care. These guidelines are intended to provide a framework to offer assistance to patients and families with legitimate financial hardship, who are unable to pay for all or a portion of their medical care.

COVERED SERVICES
Covered services are those which are determined medically necessary by a physician.

EXCLUDED SERVICES
A. General dental
B. Cosmetic
C. Guest trays
D. Private room (unless medically necessary or no other room available.)

Our Financial Assistance Programs are based on whether you have insurance coverage of any kind or are uninsured.   

An uninsured patient is an Illinois resident who is not covered under any third party coverage of any kind, including high deductible plans, workers’ compensation, accident liability insurance, or other third party liability.  This follows the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act.
