How does payment work if I am uninsured or under insured?

Heartland offers a sliding fee scale for patients, making high-quality care affordable. Patients who fit income guidelines (≤ 200% Federal Poverty Level) are eligible for the sliding fee scale once they provide proof of income. This sliding fee scale is used to discount all out-of-pocket costs. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
