Uninsured patients are required to deposit the estimated cost of scheduled services in advance of receiving services. If additional testing, physician consultations or hospital admissions are necessary, additional deposits will be required.
Mayo Clinic provides numerous services to meet the needs of patients who are unable to pay for care. This assistance includes helping people find sources to fund their care, using fair and consistent collection practices that are in the best interest of all parties involved, and providing hardship financing terms, charity care and opportunities to work with outside agencies. Of course, emergency care is provided to stabilize patients, regardless of their ability to pay. For those who do not qualify for charitable care, Mayo provides individualized payment plans based on the patient's ability to make payments.
