Pay Your Bill

For individuals and families who don’t have insurance or for services that aren’t covered by insurance, Fraser offers the ability to apply for a sliding scale for fees. To apply, you must complete an application, which asks for information like your household income, the number of people in your household and other financial information.

You can request this application from the Fraser Billing Department. After you have applied, Fraser will review your application to determine if you qualify and at what level. This option isn’t open for those who need help paying a high deductible.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

Grants and Medical Assistance to help Cover Costs

Fraser can connect individuals and families with various grant and financial assistance opportunities to help defray the cost of programs and services. There are state grants and grants offered by different businesses and healthcare providers, as well as medical assistance programs. Our case managers, care advocates and billing department can help you apply and find these funding resources.

Here are two grant opportunities that can help your family pay for services at Fraser and other health care providers.

Support Grant

The CSG program gives consumers greater flexibility and freedom of choice in service selection, payment rates, service delivery specifications and employment of service providers.

Family Support Grant

The Family Support Grant (FSG) program provides state cash grants to families of children with certified disabilities.

TEFRA

Medical Assistance-TEFRA (MA-TEFRA) is for children with disabilities whose parents have too much income to qualify for other Minnesota Health Care Programs or who qualify, but the cost would be too high.
