Explanation of Financial Responsibility
If you have medical insurance, your financial responsibility depends on
the coverage provided by your policy in terms of deductibles, co-insurance,
co-payments, and non-covered services. Altru will prepare your insurance
claim forms for all services provided and will submit these claims to
your insurance company. There is no charge for this service, but we ask
you to provide the required insurance information. Please bring your insurance
card with you for every visit. If you have no medical insurance, we can
help you establish a payment plan.
Altru patients receive one consolidated bill that itemizes services provided
for each individual on your account per month. The bill clearly indicates
what you owe. It is important to name one guarantor at the time of your
visit check-in. This should be the person legally responsible for patient balances.
Obstetric Patients: Altru sends one combined charge that encompasses the
total on a normal pregnancy and delivery after your baby has been born.
This charge includes all obstetrical care through delivery; charges for
ultrasounds, laboratory and other tests will continue to be billed by
visit. (North Dakota and Minnesota Medicaid and self-pay patients will
continue to be billed by visit.)
Yorhom Patients: Patients receiving care through
Yorhom will continue to receive an Yorhom bill. This bill will be separate from
a bill from Altru Clinic and Altru Hospital.
