Billing & Payments
Premier Women’s Health of Minnesota makes it easy for patients to pay for medical care by offering secure, online bill payment through our patient portal. It’s very easy to set up a portal account.
The cost for your visit will be determined, based on the specifics of the care and services provided. Your insurance carrier may pay for all or part of the care provided. After insurance, you are primarily responsible for whatever is the remaining or full cost for the services you receive.
Our billing department is available during normal business hours to answer any questions, please call 651-461-8866.
Insurance
Premier Women’s Health of Minnesota prides itself in providing care to as many members of the community as possible. Therefore, we work very hard to contract with all insurance plans. Each of our branches provides a list of insurances they accept. Please find your provider’s office here.
Some of our offices accept patients without insurance, or self-pay (out-of-pocket). Please call your provider’s office prior to your visit and let them know why you are coming in; they can ESTIMATE the cost of your visit. We cannot guarantee any fees until after you have had your appointment. Payment is expected at the time of service.

- Co-insurance requires you to pay a percentage of your visit fee.
