Eskenazi Health provides primary care through the Eskenazi Health Center system, which has multiple locations throughout Marion County. Eskenazi Health Center is a Federally Qualified Health Center and does not deny services to any individual based on inability to pay; it is open to all. All Eskenazi Health Center locations have a sliding fee schedule that bases discounts on family size and income. There is also an optical shop sliding fee schedule.
Financial counselors also can give referrals for other payor resources to qualified patients. Counselors are available at Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Please see individual Eskenazi Health facilities listed in the locations tab below for their hours.

Eskenazi Health would like to remind all patients covered by Medicaid to visit FSSABenefits.IN.gov to report any changes and check eligibility. Beginning in April 2023, eligibility redeterminations will resume, with a plan to return to normal operations within 12 months. Many redeterminations will be done automatically based on information the state has available. However, in some situations, the state of Indiana will need to ask the member for information about themselves and their family, such as current address, employment status and income, age and family size. Patients with questions or concerns about eligibility redeterminations may contact a member of the Eskenazi Health Financial Eligibility Services team by calling 1.855.202.1053 or scheduling an appointment online through Eskenazi Health MyChart. Patients are asked to log into their Eskenazi Health MyChart account to learn more.
