Note: As of November 2023, Minnesota law requires hospitals to screen patients for their charity care eligibility before taking certain actions to recoup medical debt. During 2023, Mayo Clinic presumptively wrote off nearly $90 million in debt for patients who would have qualified for its charity care program.
