Ellison Reaches Settlement with Hendricks Community Hospital

November 10, 2026

ST. PAUL, Minn.–Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has reached a settlement with Hendricks Community Hospital requiring more than $171,000 in refunds or medical debt reductions for uninsured patients.

The settlement follows allegations that the hospital improperly calculated discounts for patients with household incomes below $125,000.

A total of 323 patients who received care between 2020 and June 2026 may qualify.

The hospital also agreed to simplify its charity care application, which previously required extensive financial information.

Eligible patients will be contacted directly about refunds or debt reductions.
