District One Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from District One Hospital? You may not have to pay all of it. Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance — here are this hospital's actual income limits and how to apply, taken from its own published policy.
Quick facts
Free care: Free care through the Allina Partners Care program if your household income is at or below 275% of the federal poverty guidelines — approved balances for medically necessary care are written off.
Discounted care: A separate uninsured discount program covers discounts for higher incomes (a 50% discount up to 350% of the poverty level, smaller discounts above that).
