Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is a full or partial discount of outstanding patient balances for services deemed medically necessary for patients who meet all financial criteria. Patients may qualify for financial assistance, even though they have insurance coverage, if they are unable to pay the balance remaining after insurance benefits are applied.
Reduced Monthly Payments
Altru Health System requires payment in full at the time services are provided or patient balance is determined. Our Board of Directors have established guideline monthly payments based on an outstanding balance for patients who are unable to pay the full amount. We recognize that medical expenses are not always expected and can cause financial hardship. Upon review of the financial assistance application, payments below the guidelines may be allowed.
To apply for financial assistance, please contact Altru Patient Services at 701.780.1500 or visit any of our locations in Grand Forks, Cavalier, Devils Lake, and Crookston. You can also schedule an appointment with a financial counselor by utilizing MyChart scheduling. Learn more about our HERO team and how they can help.
