Billing in Chicago

Under Illinois law, nonprofit hospitals must maintain financial-assistance policies and screen patients before pursuing aggressive collection, yet those policies are inconsistently applied across Chicagoland systems. Patients regularly pay balances they were legally eligible to have reduced or forgiven. We check eligibility against the specific hospital's published policy rather than the summary a billing representative reads over the phone.

Chicago questions, answered

I was told I make too much for financial assistance.

Policy thresholds vary considerably by hospital and often extend well above what patients assume. We check the written policy for your specific facility.

Does this apply to bills I already paid?

Sometimes. Certain retroactive assistance and refund pathways exist depending on the hospital and timing — we look at that first.

Do you cover the suburbs and Northwest Indiana?

Yes, we work across the metro area and nationwide.
