Uninsured Discount/Financial Assistance Application Instructions
Thank you for your interest in North Memorial Health Care/Maple Grove Hospital’s Uninsured Discount/Financial
Assistance program. Enclosed you will find the Uninsured Discount/Financial Assistance application. Please keep the

Uninsured discounts are applicable for any uninsured hospital based treatment that is medically necessary and not
deemed cosmetic and the patient’s household income is less than $125,000. Uninsured discounts are not
applicable to North Memorial Transportation accounts.
Financial Assistance is not health insurance, and is a financial assistance program for your North Memorial Health
Care/Maple Grove Hospital or North Memorial Transportation bills only. Our program can only cover services that
are billed directly through North Memorial Health Care/Maple Grove Hospital. This means that our program can
only assist with charges for North Memorial Health Care/Maple Grove Hospital facilities, and charges incurred with
doctors employed by North Memorial Health Care.
Financial Assistance can assist with your bills for medically necessary services, and does not assist with bills for
prescription medications, retail services, and elective services. Auto Accident and Workers Compensation balances
are excluded as well.
When applying for an uninsured discount, please provide your proof of income and most recent tax forms.
When filling out the application for financial assistance, it is important that you provide us with your current
insurance, income, and asset information, even if your situation has changed since you incurred your bills with
North Memorial Health Care/Maple Grove Hospital or North Memorial Transportation. Financial Assistance is based
on your current house hold size, income, and assets.
Please use this table as a checklist when completing the enclosed application.
