We know that some patients and families will require financial assistance in paying for health care. Children's Memorial can provide assistance in the following ways:

  • Assist in the completion of a public aid application (MANG) for inpatients.
  • Assist in the completion of an All Kids application for outpatients. All Kids is low-cost or free health insurance for children offered by the State of Illinois. All Kids covers check-ups, medications, doctor visits and more.
  • Refer to Division of Specialized Care for Children for patients with eligible diagnoses.
  • Connect with various social service organizations, such as Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
  • Initiate sliding scale arrangements and/or payment plans for deductibles, coinsurance and any other patient responsibility balances.
  • Offer financial assistance or charity care based on documented need.

To apply for the hospital's financial assistance program, families must cooperate in identifying, applying for and procuring all available payment resources. For more information, call 773.880.4273 or 877.924.8200. Or in the hospital, visit the Admitting Department, room M126, on the first floor.
