Insurance Coverage and Payment Information

Typically, families rely on one of three methods to help pay for their child’s medical treatment:
  • A health insurance plan, such as an HMO, PPO or POS, available through a private health benefits company 
  • Illinois Medicaid 
  • Or, the state of Illinois’ All Kids health care program. Visit the All Kids site to learn about eligibility requirements and covered services
La Rabida Children’s Hospital contracts with various health benefits companies. However, not all hospital services are reimbursable through all the plans of these insurance and managed care companies. We encourage patient families to verify La Rabida is a participating provider of their health benefits network and that services their child may require are benefits eligible. Depending on your child’s insurance type and benefits coverage, you may be asked to pay a portion of the charges. La Rabida offers financial assistance to patient families who submit the patient financial assistance form and meet eligibility requirements.
