Visitor hours, unit rules, symptom screening, and after-hours check-in

| Visitor area | Listed guidance | Visitor planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Normal inpatient/ED visiting hours | Methodist, Pekin, and Proctor normal visiting hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. | Arrive early enough for parking, entrance navigation, and unit wayfinding. |

MyCarle portal, MyUnityPoint transition, results, and proxy access
Greater Peoria patients may need to understand both MyUnityPoint history and MyCarle access as Carle continues platform transition work.
What MyCarle helps with
MyCarle can help patients view available medical records, lab results, recent appointments, emergency department visit information, hospital admission details, medications, allergies, and billing tools.
Greater Peoria account linking
Carle says Greater Peoria patients can follow instructions to link their MyUnityPoint and MyCarle accounts or use Carle’s informational page for transition questions.
Proxy access
Parents and legal guardians may request proxy access for children’s accounts, but paper copies of records may still be requested through Health Information Management.
Portal safety
Do not use portal messaging for emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for emergency symptoms.
Medical records, release forms, birth certificates, and request timing
Carle says patients have a right to review and obtain copies of medical records. MyCarle is the first place to check, but not every record may be available there.
| Record need | Best route | Important details |
|---|---|---|
| Records available online | Check MyCarle first. | Look for available results, visit summaries, medications, allergies, and appointment or admission information. |
| Records not available in MyCarle | Submit a request to Health Information Management. | Use the correct authorization form and include photo ID, facility, date range, record type, and delivery method. |
| Methodist, Proctor, Pekin records | Use Carle’s Greater Peoria HIM routing listed for Methodist, Proctor, Pekin, and West Region ambulatory clinics. | The records page lists Carle Health Proctor Hospital, 5409 N. Knoxville Ave., Peoria, IL 61614, and phone 309-691-1047 for this regional records route. |
| General medical-record questions | Call Carle Health Information Management when unsure about forms or copies. | Carle’s medical-record page lists 217-902-6500 for questions about completing forms or obtaining copies. |
| Birth or death certificates | Request through the county courthouse, not the hospital medical-record release process. | For Methodist in Peoria, check Peoria County certificate instructions. |
| Behavioral health records | Use the required behavioral-health release authorization if applicable. | Mental health records may require special authorizations, signatures, or releases. |
| Authorization expiration | Complete the form carefully. | Carle says authorizations expire one year from the date signed unless otherwise specified. |
Billing, payment routes, Greater Peoria bills, and scam safety
Medical bills can be confusing, especially when a health system has changed ownership or billing platforms. Use verified Carle payment tools and official phone numbers only.
| Billing need | Official route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Pay current Carle bill | Use MyCarle, EasyMatch, mail, or pay by phone at 888-71-CARLE / 888-712-2753. | Statement, account number, patient name, payment method, and date of service. |
| Greater Peoria charges after Dec. 2, 2023 | Carle lists Methodist, Proctor, and Pekin hospitals and associated clinics under current Carle billing for dates of service December 2, 2023 and later. | Facility name, date of service, insurance EOB, and statement details. |
| Greater Peoria charges before Dec. 2, 2023 | Carle says Greater Peoria patients with charges before December 2, 2023 should pay by phone or call Patient Accounts at 844-849-1260. | Older bill, account number, service date, and any prior payment record. |
| Billing questions | Patient Financial Services representatives are listed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 888-712-2753. | Insurance card, EOB, bill, payment history, and questions about adjustments or discounts. |
| Phone scam concern | Verify payment requests through Patient Financial Services or MyCarle. | Do not provide payment details to suspicious callers. Hang up and call the verified number. |
Price estimates, financial assistance, insurance, and Good Faith Estimate help
For planned services, ask for a cost estimate before care when possible. For emergency care, do not delay treatment to resolve billing questions first.
Transparent pricing

Financial assistance
Use Carle’s billing and financial support resources if you cannot afford a bill or need help understanding discounts, support options, or application steps.
Insurance plans
Check Carle’s accepted health plans page and confirm with your insurer. Network status can depend on the plan, facility, doctor, date, and service type.
Good Faith Estimate
Uninsured or self-pay patients may have rights to a Good Faith Estimate for scheduled services. Use official Carle Good Faith Estimate resources for current rules.
Patient rights, patient relations, interpreter help, accessibility, and privacy
