Mayo Clinic settles investigation into charity care and medical-debt collection
Minnesota's attorney general announced a settlement resolving an investigation into Mayo Clinic's charity-care and debt-collection practices. Investigators found barriers to financial assistance and aggressive collection practices. The settlement requires eligibility screening, a simpler assistance application, and restrictions on patient debt lawsuits. The attorney general also reported that Mayo had already expanded assistance and more than doubled charity care from 2022 to 2024.

Donor relevance
Why this matters
The settlement addresses whether a major charitable health institution serves patients unable to pay, while documenting meaningful corrective steps rather than only past failures. Mayo Clinic's legal identity and EIN are confirmed in federal tax and court records.
