Financial Assistance
Financial Assistance is available to patients with an identified need, including uninsured patients and patients who are insured but cannot afford their deductible and co-insurance. We will help determine if you qualify for Financial Assistance based on your family size, income, and assets. Patients who do not have the means to pay for necessary health care service can apply for assistance.

Sliding Fee Scale
We believe that everyone deserves access to high quality health care. At Aspirus, no one will be denied services regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. If you have insurance, we can help you understand it and use it. For patients who are uninsured or underinsured, we offer a sliding scale fee based on your income and family size. If you are unsure if you qualify for the sliding fee discount scale, our Access and Enrollment Specialists can help. We can also answer your questions about Medicare and Medicaid.
