Important Billing Information
Woodland Centers provides services for a seven-county area; Big Stone, Chippewa, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Meeker, Renville, and Swift. If you live in one of these counties and meet financial eligibility criteria, you may qualify for a reduced fee.
The reduced fee applies to most outpatient services and day/evening programs. The reduced fee works like this: the county uses a sliding fee scale, where it pays for part or all of your fee, depending on the services and financial situation.
In order to apply for a reduced rate on the Woodland Centers sliding fee scale, verification of you income is required immediately. If income verification is not received, you will be fully responsible for the charges after insurance. You must provide insurance information, family size, client social security number, and responsible party social security number to be eligible for sliding fee scale.
