Cook County Health and Hospitals Systems mission is to provide health care with dignity and respect regardless of a patients ability to pay, however federal rules require us to send bills to all patients.
Please keep in mind, if you are uninsured and do not apply for financial assistance, you will be responsible for the full amount of your bill. We offer several different financial assistance options for patients who need help paying their bills. No patient will be denied Cook County Health and Hospitals System services based on ability to pay.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Cicero Health Center website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
