Billing Information

Murray County Medical Center strives to provide its patients with the best quality health care available. MCMC realizes not all patients have access to health care coverage or a means of paying for health care services.

MCMC staff is available to assist patients with any questions that may arise regarding payment of services or billing procedures.

Billing of Services

Patients are responsible for providing insurance verification and co-pays at time of service.

MCMC Business Office Hours are Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 4:30pm
Ph – (507) 836-6111

The following guidelines are followed for billing of services:

* All known third party payers are billed by MCMC prior to patient receiving statement.
* Patients will receive a statement after all third party payers have paid.
* Patients are responsible for remitting payment within 30-days of receiving statement.
* Patients are responsible for contacting the business office to discuss payment arrangements or notify staff of discrepancies.

Uninsured Patients

MCMC acknowledges the rising cost of health care coverage for patients. However MCMC will not deny services to patients who do not have access to healthcare coverage.

In compliance with the MN Attorney General’s Office, MCMC follows the following guidelines for all self-pay/uninsured accounts.

* All uninsured patients with an annual gross income of less than $125,000 receive a 3% discount on services (Discount applies to MN residents only)
* All uninsured/self pay patients will receive an itemized statement of services performed at MCMC

Past Due and Collection Procedures

Patients are responsible for remitting payment within 30-days of receiving their statement. If a patient fails to remit payment within such time, the account will be considered past due.

Patients will be notified by letter that the account is past due. Patients are then responsible to remit payment within 30-days of receiving past due notification.

If payment is not received after past due notification, the account will be default. The following actions are taken for default accounts:

* MCMC will make various attempts to contact patients regarding the balance of their account.
* Within such time, if a patient does not contact MCMC Collection Staff to discuss payment of the balance, account will be presented to MCMC Finance Board.
* After all attempts have failed to collect payment of debt, the account will be submitted to a Collection Agency and listed with the State of MN for Revenue Recapture.


All MCMC patients have the right to address any concerns regarding collection procedures with the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, which can be reached at 1-800-657-3787.
