Payment Policies

Payment for all services is expected at the time of service. This includes any applicable deductibles and copays.

We will make every effort to inform you of any upfront charges prior to your hospital, clinic, or lab visit (including any applicable deductibles and copayments).

However, other care and testing may be required that is only discovered in the course of providing care. In the event that this occurs, we will bill your insurance for the additional care and testing. If there is a remaining balance after insurance has paid, we will send you a bill.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have questions regarding our billing processes, please do not hesitate to ask.

Charity Care Guidelines

McKenzie County Healthcare Systems, Inc. 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 and the number of people in their household. 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 Applications are available at the Hospital Admissions Office and the Clinic Business Office, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM upon request. The Charity Care documents are also available on this webpage.

It is the policy of McKenzie County Healthcare Systems, Inc. to provide essential services regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. Discounts are offered based on family income and size. Please download the Charity Care Application for more information:
