Affording Your Care
Minnesota Community Care is the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in the state of Minnesota. We believe in providing health care for all, regardless of income or access to insurance.
If you cannot afford your care, we will work with you to determine a payment plan, help you access insurance, or see if you qualify for discounted services through our sliding fee scale.
If you have health insurance, we accept:
- Medicare
- Medicaid
- Many private health insurance plans
We recommend that you review your health insurance plan information or call your insurance company before your visit to make sure your fees will be covered.
Please note, insured patients may also be eligible for the Sliding Fee Discount Program to reduce their copayments and deductibles.
No patient will be denied service,
even if they are unable to pay.
If you need help enrolling for insurance:
Many of our patients qualify for health insurance. MNsure is Minnesota’s health insurance marketplace where you can shop, compare and choose health insurance coverage that meets your needs.
Minnesota Community Care partners with Portico Healthnet to help patients like you learn more about accessing insurance. If you would like to learn about what you qualify for, call Portico Healthnet at 651-304-8080.
