    Riverwood Healthcare Center – Community Care Policy Plain Language Summary 

    Riverwood Healthcare Center is committed to providing high-quality healthcare to everyone, no matter their ability to pay. We offer free or discounted care to people who need help paying their medical bills and who meet our financial assistance guidelines. 

    Who Can Get Help? 

    You may qualify if: 

    • You received emergency or medically necessary care at Riverwood Healthcare Center. 
    • You do not have insurance, your insurance doesn’t cover enough, or you’re having trouble paying your bill. 
    • Your income and family size meet our financial assistance guidelines. 
    • You work with us to see if you qualify for other programs (like Medical Assistance, MNsure, Senior Partners Care etc.). 

    What Help Is Available? 

    • Discounted care on a sliding scale if your income is higher but still limited. 
    • We will never charge you more than what insurance companies pay for emergency or necessary care. 
    • If your household income is under $125,000, you will not pay more than the lowest amount a private insurance company would pay for the same service.
