What you need to know:
1. Health insurance will be billed after your child’s visit. The clinic has contracts with the following: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, HealthPartners, Medica, Medicaid, UCare, UMR, and UnitedHealthcare.
2. If you choose not to use your health insurance (commercial plans only) for the clinic visit, you will be billed at the self-pay rate. You will need to sign a waiver in order to bypass submitting the claim to your insurance. Please see the Good Faith Estimate for the cost of services in the clinic available on our website and through our online scheduling link.
3. If you do not have health insurance, you will be billed at the self-pay rate (with the exception of vaccine administration costs). Please see the Good Faith Estimate for the cost of services in the clinic available on our website and through our online scheduling link.

If you have any challenges paying your bill, you have options.
- Contact Billing@RiseUpHealthClinics.org for payment options. OR
