You may qualify for the Hospital Community Care Program. Your income must be at or below 275 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (see chart below). And you must comply with the terms of the program when you apply. If you qualify, 100 percent of your bill will be paid. If you live out of state and qualify, 50 percent of your bill will be paid.
 
Income guidelines by family size:

First you must apply for help from the county. Then you must provide your county approval or denial in writing to Fairview. We will determine if you qualify for Community Care.
 
We also ask you to follow the rules set by your insurance plan.
 
Services covered
 The Hospital Community Care Program covers charges for most Fairview services.  It does not cover charges for:

• care that is not needed (for example, care not approved by a Fairview doctor or trial treatments), 
• care that we do not offer at Fairview,
• services given at Fairview by independent providers,
• services not billed by Fairview , and 
• services related to transplant.

The Hospital Community Care Program applies only to Fairview's hospital-based care. It does not include care received in free-standing clinics. This is covered under the Fairview Clinic Community Care Program.

 If you do not know whether the care you are seeking is covered by Hospital Community Care, please ask us. If you have questions, call 612-672-6724 or (toll-free) 866-417-3560.
