Notice of Availability

St. Margaret’s Health is committed to providing care to patients regardless of their ability to pay for part or all of essential medical care.

If you do not have health insurance or are concerned that you may not be able to pay for your care in full, we may be able to help. St. Margaret’s Health provides financial assistance to patients based on their income and other resources. In addition, we may be able to work with you to arrange a manageable payment plan.

It is important that you let us know if you expect to have difficulty paying your bill. In the absence of a documented financial hardship, federal and state laws require hospitals to seek full payment of what they bill patients. This means that unless we are notified of your financial situation, we may turn unpaid bills over to a collection agency, which could affect your credit status.

For more information on financial assistance, please call our Patient Accounts Office at 815-664-1575.

We will treat your questions with confidentiality and courtesy.
