Financial Assistance
Our Commitment
Insight Hospital & Medical Center is committed to providing quality healthcare to our entire community. As part of that commitment, if you receive care at Insight Hospital and are uninsured, underinsured, or insured but unable to meet your co-payment requirements, our financial counselors are available to assist you with the identification of a financial assistance program to meet your needs. Patients who are unable to pay their bills may be eligible for programs designed to assist families in need including Medicaid, Medicare and social security insurance disability, or for one of Insight’s comprehensive financial assistance programs.
Pricing Transparency
We support price transparency. For our patients to understand their potential financial liability for hospital services, we are making our hospital charges available to patients. Hospital charges vary based on the type of care provided. The price can differ from patient to patient for the same services. The price will be different for complications or different treatment for the patient’s personal health condition. Patients also may qualify for financial assistance. Please call 312.567.2147 or send an email to FinancialCounselors@insightchicago.org, for a price estimate or to find out if you qualify for financial assistance.
