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.

Patients residing within the RHS service area may receive services without charge or at a discounted charge and must demonstrate that they can not afford to pay for full charges. Patients who reside outside of the RHS service area will generally not be eligible for financial assistance consideration. These patients should be encouraged to seek treatment at an appropriate facility located within their geographic proximity. Exceptions may be made for those services in which RHS is a recognized referral center.
