Financial Assistance

Lack of health insurance or financial struggles should not prevent you from seeking or receiving care. At Hennepin Healthcare, our financial counselors will work with you to find a plan to help pay for your medical expenses. We do not deny care based on patients' ability to pay.

Hennepin Healthcare now contracts with Change Healthcare to assist patients with Minnesota Healthcare Program or Hennepin Healthcare Charity Care applications.  Please access Change Healthcare representatives at the Clinic & Specialty Center, Whittier Clinic, or Brooklyn Park Clinic, for guidance with your financial assistance needs.

Financial Counseling Services

A financial counselor will help you find a qualified plan and guide you through the application process.

MNsure Enrollment
On the MNsure marketplace, you can find, compare, choose, and get quality healthcare coverage, including commercial health insurance plans and low-cost or free plans through government programs. A financial counselor can help you complete the online application. If you are eligible for a government program such as Medical Assistance or Minnesota Care, you may enroll through MNsure year-round.

Uncompensated Care Enrollment
If you are not eligible for coverage through MNsure, you may qualify for the Uncompensated Care discount program. The program provides discounted care based on family size and annual household income. A financial counselor can answer your program questions and help you complete the application. Learn more about Uncompensated Care.
