Anyone work for Allina (billing)?

Does anyone know how paying for the hospital bill works if you want to do a payment plan? I received my hospital bill today and it's already due in a little over a week. I don't have the money to pay it all in full right now so I was going to call Monday morning. Everyone is just telling me to mail a portion of the money with a check and then I will pay off the remaining balance as time goes on. Is this true/has anyone else done this? I don't want collections coming after me, but I was told that as long as I am making payments I should be okay.

  • I just called and set up a payment plan.  Both my doctor's office and the hospital wanted 10% a month.

  • We just set up a payment plan of what we can afford to pay a month.  I would think that would go over better than just sending random amounts. 
  • I had a Park Nicollet bill that I couldn't pay in full and they were willing to set up a payment plan. It was between $600-$800 and I paid I think $87/month.

    I'm sure they're more than happy to work with you.

  • I use Allina...Just call and tell them how much you want to pay per month.  As long as it's paid off in 8 months it's all good!  (If you go to the dr AGAIN you'll have to call and get that second payment set up combined with the first.)  Learned that recently.
  • I would call and set something up with them so that they can note it in your file.

    We don't have Allina, but my husband had two surgeries last year.  Between those we'd reached our OOP and deductible, but the expenses were pretty big up front.  He called and set-up our billing "plan".  After six months of regular payments we received a letter that they had turned us into collections and even with a payment plan in place they can do that at any time.  It just took a phone call again to discuss with them and the insurance company cleared everything up right away... but just a warning that even though they say that won't, they still can...

  • Thanks for all of the replies. I called Monday afternoon and the woman set me up on a payment plan!
