To be considered for financial assistance, please complete and submit an application.

If you are an Indiana resident, as defined in the IU Health Financial Assistance Policy, who receives care via the emergency room, direct admission from a physician's office or transfer from another hospital, you may be eligible to receive additional assistance if paying your medical bills is a financial hardship and you apply. If you meet Federal Poverty Level criteria, you may be eligible for financial assistance up to the full amount of your medical bill.

No patient approved for financial assistance due to financial hardship will be charged more than the amounts generally billed to patients who have insurance coverage for similar care provided at the respective IU Health hospital facility where the patient received services.

2021 Methodology for the Calculation of the Amounts Generally Billed (AGB)

Indiana University Health (IU Health) limits the amounts charged to all Uninsured Patients to not more than the AGB to patients who have insurance coverage for such care at the respective IU Health hospital facility where the patient received services.

IU Health employs the look-back method as the basis for calculating the AGB at each IU Health hospital facility. The AGB is calculated annually and is based on the annual average reimbursement received from all commercial health insurers and Medicare fee-for-service.

The AGB is calculated annually and is unique for each separately licensed IU Health facility covered under IU Health's Financial Assistance Policy. The AGB for Riley at IU Health for 2021 is 33.75 percent. The AGB discount is 100 percent minus the AGB, or 66.25 percent for Riley at IU Health. This AGB discount will be applied to an uninsured patient's qualifying facility services only.

The above mentioned AGB will be reflected on a qualifying patient’s monthly invoicing statements. All questions on a patient's outstanding account balance may be directed to IU Health's Customer Service Department. IU Health Customer Service representatives are available via telephone Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays, from 8 am — 7 pm Eastern Time.
