WeliaCare Charity Care
Last reviewed February 2025
Purpose
Welia Health is committed to its mission and vision in providing healthcare services to the communities we serve. As a result, Welia Health has a charity care program, WeliaCare, to assist persons with medical expenses incurred at Welia Health with limited ability to pay.
Definitions
- Amounts Generally Billed (AGB) Limit
- The average amount collected by Welia Health for providing emergency and other appropriate hospital-based medical services to individuals who have insurance covering those services, as defined by IRS Regulations 1.501(r)-1(b)(1). The amount generally billed is calculated by dividing the sum of the amounts of the all its claim for emergency and other medically necessary care that have been allowed by health insurers during the prior 12-months of the sum of the associated gross charges for those claims. The AGB percentage will be updated annually.
- Income Limitation
- The method of determining income shall include, but is not limited to, gross income plus nontaxable retirement income (i.e., Social Security), child support, unemployment compensation as well as any payments received for living expenses and “in kind” payments (i.e., use of property rent free). The value of food stamps and housing subsidies will be excluded from “in-kind” payment consideration. (See WeliaCare Program Check List for detailed description).
- Asset Limitations
- The following will be considered a liquid asset: checking and savings accounts, health saving accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposits (CDs), value of stocks, bonds, and IRAs where the recipient is not assessed a penalty of early withdrawal of the funds (see WeliaCare Program Check List for detailed description).
- Community Care
- Discounts on all charges for medical services given to patients that are considered uninsured or medically indigent at the time of service.
- Financial Assistance Program
- The program to provide health care services free or a discount to individuals who quality by meeting income and asset guidelines. The Community Care Program is called WeliaCare.
- Medically Necessary Care and Services
- Medically necessary care and services include procedures and treatment for physical or mental conditions in accordance with professionally recognized standards of health care. Examples of non-medically necessary services are cosmetic procedures, birth control, non-emergency dental services, experimental or non-traditional care, test, or treatment; hearing aids, retail services such as pharmacy, optical shop and durable medical equipment. Welia Health reserves the right to determine on a case-by-case basis, whether the care or services meet the definition and standards of medically necessary.
- Medicaid
- Medical Assistance (MA) is a Medicaid program for people with low incomes. The income limit and calculations depend on your age and who lives with you. If you are pregnant, blind or have a disability, you may have different income limits. (https://mn.gov/dhs).
Eligibility guidelines
- Patient should have an accumulated self-pay balance.
- Patient’s family income must be at or below 275% of the then-current federal poverty guideline or qualifies to file IRS Form 4029, Application for Exemption from Social Security and Medicare Taxes and Waiver of Benefits. See section J, WeliaCare Application process if the patient’s family has filed Form 4029.
- A patient’s family liquid assets must be less than $20,000 to be eligible to receive free care under the WeliaCare program.
- The eligibility period is for one year beginning with the first day of acceptance to the program. After this period the eligibility for further participation will be fully reassessed for further support upon the request of the recipient.
- Patient must live in the state of Minnesota or Wisconsin to be eligible for the WeliaCare program.
- Patients with Medicare A & B only are encouraged to apply for assistance with co-pays, deductible and non-covered services utilizing the services of the Seven County Senior Federation. Welia Health participates by forgiving patient owed balances when proof of eligibility is supplied by the patient in the form of a membership card with an expiration date after the date of service. Copies of the membership card must be presented by the patient prior to balances being forgiven. Patients must have both Medicare A & B to qualify for WeliaCare.
- For patients receiving unemployment compensation, eligibility will be determined utilizing the prior year’s income tax filing. In situations where the patient feels the prior year’s income tax filing does not represent their current financial status due to a permanent loss of employment, a letter from the previous employer indicating a permanent job loss status will be required. Once the letter is received, unemployment compensation will be utilized to determine eligibility.
- For those applicants not meeting the economic guidelines, Welia’s Business Office will help arrange a payment plan designed to meet the applicant’s financial requirements.

Exception
For catastrophic illness, exceptions to income and asset limitations may be approved on a case-by-case basis.
- Available Healthcare Coverage
- Patients are encouraged to take advantage of available healthcare coverage; however, Welia Health recognizes the premiums may be a hardship for the patient. In such cases, patients are required to provide documentation regarding their minimum monthly insurance premium and personal information indicating why it is considered a hardship. Examples of employer health insurance documentation would include a copy of the employer’s rate sheet or a letter from the employer’s Human Resource department. Patients should apply for coverage through MN-Sure if they are not offered coverage through their employer (the Affordable Care Act 2010 mandates medical insurance coverage for individuals and families effective January 1, 2014.) If patients feel coverage through MN-Sure is unaffordable, they should submit information detailing what plans and rates are available to them. Patients will be considered for WeliaCare if the minimum healthcare coverage premium is more than 20% of their monthly income.
