- Accounts with balances under $40.00 are expected to be paid in full within 30 days after the bill is received.
- Accounts with balances between $50 and $100 may be paid in two monthly payments after the bill is received.
- Accounts with balances of $100 to $500 may be paid in monthly payments of not less than $75 per month.
- Accounts of over $500 may be paid in monthly payments of not less than $100 per month.
An account is considered "past due" if we do not receive a payment during the month and you have not contacted us to make financial arrangements.
You will be expected to pay at the time of service. There may be additional charges for tests and other services rendered at the same time, these items may be billed. If you are unable to pay this amount, you will be asked to pay as much as you can at the time of service and the balance will be due at the end of the month. If you cannot meet these requested amounts, you will be asked to sign a financial agreement which will set up a payment plan that allows lower payments as long as they are consistent.
Charity Care Guidelines
McKenzie County Healthcare Systems is committed to providing quality care to all who need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days and week, 365 days a year.
If you do not have health insurance or are concerned that you may not be able to pay for all of your care, we may be able to help. McKenzie County Healthcare Systems provides Charity Care to patients based on their income, assets and financial needs. In addition, we will work with you to arrange a mutually agreeable payment plan.
Federal and state laws require that all hospitals seek payment for care provided. Ultimately, this means we could turn unpaid bills over to a collection agency, which would affect your credit status. Therefore, it is very important that you let us know if there may be a problem paying your bill. Charity Care packets are available at the Hospital Admissions Office, or the Clinic Business Office, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM upon request.
