Will my care be covered by my insurance?
Allina Health is in-network for many insurance plans. However, it is a good idea to contact your insurance carrier to confirm coverage.

No. We will continue to evaluate and treat a wide variety of Pulmonary conditions and symptoms. We will also continue to perform a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
How do I get medication refills?

General Questions
Do I need to bring a disc with my images? Won’t they be sent?
A hospital will often forward a report, but in order to thoroughly evaluate your condition, our physicians need to view the actual images at the time of your visit. Upon your request, the hospital’s radiology department can provide them for you on a disc to bring to your appointment in our clinic.
Who do I call if I have questions about my bill from Minnesota Lung Center or Minnesota Sleep Institute?
For billing, insurance and payment questions please call our Business Office at 952-567-7409.
