New Ulm Medical Center: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from New Ulm Medical Center? 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 if your household income is at or below 275% of the federal poverty level (Allina Health's Partners Care program).
Discounted care: If you do not qualify for free care, uninsured patients with household income under $125,000 still get a discount on medically necessary care.
