Fighting Medical Bills in Minnesota

Minnesota is home to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical institutions in the world. Despite its premium reputation, Mayo Clinic provides financial assistance for patients at or below 400% FPL, with full write-offs available for those under 200% FPL. Sliding-scale discounts apply between 200% and 400% FPL.

Minnesota has strong consumer protection laws that benefit patients dealing with medical bills. The state requires hospitals to provide clear, understandable billing information and to offer payment plan options for patients who cannot pay their bills in full. Minnesota also participates in Medicaid expansion.

MinnesotaCare, the state's public health insurance program for residents who earn too much for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance, provides another option for patients facing high medical bills. Check your eligibility for MinnesotaCare if you are currently uninsured or underinsured.

Whether your bill is from the Mayo Clinic, a regional hospital, or a community clinic, BillDelete generates customized negotiation letters that cite Medicare rates specific to Minnesota's geographic payment areas and reference applicable charity care policies.
