Overview

Mission

North metro pediatrics mission is to improve the health and well being of children in the north metro by providing affordable and accessible pediatric care focused on prevention.

What it reported doing in 2017

We are the only clinic in anoka county that has a sliding-scale fee based on federal poverty level and family-income guidelines, offering affordable and accessible pediatric health care to uninsured, under-insured and privately insured patients. Although we primarily serve uninsured and underinsured families (nearly 7o% of our families), we also accept all major insurance plans. However, a majority of our privately insured families earn too much to qualify for medicaid but not enough to cover the premiums and high deductibles that are often found in private insurance plans found through the state exchange. (see schedule o for additional information) many of our patients are uninsured or privately insured facing monthly premiums as high as 800 and deductibles as high as 15,000 these patients would not be able to afford care at a regular clinic. We never turn any child away for lack of insurance or inability to pay for services. North metro pediatrics sees patients 5 days a week, as well as thursday evenings. North metro pediatrics' patient base is growing quickly, with approximately 20% of visits each month from new patients. North metro pediatrics sees approximately 130 patient visits a month. North metro pediatrics partners with apple tree dental to provide oral health services to our clients, 2 days per month. Nmp is the health consultant to the anoka-hennepin school district, and is a member of the northwest community health advisory council. Nmp is also in its seventh year of health care home certification from the state of Minnesota.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
