Description:
Brainerd Lakes Health has Financial Counselors to help resolve issues related to medical bills. They can assist in estimating what insurance may cover and what patient responsibilities for payment are, or they may be able to identify agencies or programs that could be helpful. Some of these programs are state sponsored (e.g. Minnesota Care, Medical Assistance, GAMC) while others are not. Another option may be to help apply for free or low-cost health insurance.

Community Care
As a not-for-profit organization, serving the poor is part of the mission of Brainerd Lakes Health. As part of this mission, we offer a program called Community Care to assist those whose ability to pay is limited. Eligibility for Community Care is based on the Federal Income Poverty Guidelines, your income, assets, and needs.

Minnesota Uninsured Discount Program
The Minnesota Uninsured Discount Program is for patients who do not have insurance to cover medical care and have an annual income of under $125,000. With proof of income from our uninsured patients, Brainerd Lakes Health offers a percentage discount equal to that given to our most favored insurance contract.
