GETTING HELP PAYING YOUR BILL/FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY
Kittson Healthcare has a FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY (FAP) where emergency and other medically necessary services may be forgiven based upon financial needs. You can find the policy, application and a summary on Kittson Healthcare’s website.
You are responsible for taking part in the program by timely submitting the application. You can inquire or apply by mail, or over the phone by call Patient Financial Services at-1-800-843-6016 or 218-843-3612 or downloading the information on Kittson Healthcare’s website or you can pick up an application in person at our registration areas.
Bills that are not paid within 120 days after the first billing statement MAY be listed with a collection agency. You or your guarantor can apply for help with your bill at any time during the collection process by letting Kittson Healthcare or the collection agency know and completing the application.
INSURANCE/WORKERS COMPENSATION/MOTOR VEHICLE/LIABILITY
Even though you may have insurance, you, as the patient/guarantor are primarily responsible for payment of this bill. Kittson Healthcare will bill your insurance company if the proper information has been provided. However, Kittson Healthcare does not accept responsibility for collecting your insurance claim or negotiating a settlement on a disputed claim.
It is your responsibility to provide us with insurance information, worker’s compensation information or motor vehicle/liability information. It is your responsibility to submit worker’s compensation information to your employer for services provided as a result of a work related injury. If this is a motor vehicle or liability claim, it is also your responsibility to submit claims to the responsible party.
