River Falls Area Hospital: Financial Assistance & Charity Care
Can't afford a bill from River Falls Area 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 if your household income is at or below 275% of the federal poverty level.
Discounted care: If you're uninsured and your household income is below $125,000 a year, you can get a discount on medically necessary care through Allina's uninsured discount program; the discount size depends on your income level.
