A Simple Way to Cut Healthcare Costs: How Aslan Health Helps You Save on Medications and Medical Care
For many families in Central Minnesota, the cost of healthcare can feel overwhelming. Medical visits, prescriptions, and chronic disease management can add up quickly — especially for people who are uninsured, underinsured, or working hard just to make ends meet.
At Aslan Health, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and their budget. That’s why our clinic is built around affordable, transparent, whole-person care and why we’ve partnered with RoundtableRx, Minnesota’s Medication Repository Program, to provide low-cost and no-cost medications to our patients.
If you’re looking for ways to reduce healthcare costs without sacrificing quality, here are practical and powerful steps you can take — and how Aslan Health makes them easy.
1. Choose a Clinic That Prioritizes Affordability
Many clinics make it difficult to understand what your care will cost. At Aslan Health, we do the opposite.
We keep things simple:
- $75 self-pay visits
- Medicaid & Medicare accepted
- No appointments needed — just walk in
- No surprise bills, ever
- Longer visits when you need them
Your visit includes whatever you need during that appointment — evaluation, testing we can do onsite, treatment, and even many medications.
This makes it easier to budget and prevents the stress of unexpected medical costs.
2. Save Money Through Preventive Care
Preventive care is one of the easiest ways to reduce future medical expenses.
Regular checkups help:
- Catch problems early
- Prevent costly ER visits
- Identify risks before they become emergencies
- Support healthier lifestyle choices
Aslan Health also participates in preventive programs such as:
- SAGE & SAGE Plus (free breast, cervical, and heart disease screenings)
- Minnesota Vaccines for Children (MnVFC)
These programs provide screenings and vaccinations at little or no cost to patients.
3. Get Low-Cost or Free Medications Through RoundtableRx
Medication costs are one of the biggest barriers to staying healthy — but they don’t have to be.
Because Aslan Health is an official partner site with RoundtableRx, we can provide many common medications for free or just $5 to uninsured patients and those on Medicaid (MA).
Here’s how our medication program works:
If you receive medication during your visit:
It is included in your $75 visit fee.
If you need a refill:
Your refill is just $5.
Who qualifies?
- Uninsured patients
- Medicaid (MA) patients
- Individuals struggling to afford medication
What makes RoundtableRx safe?
RoundtableRx is Minnesota’s state-approved Medication Repository Program. Licensed pharmacists inspect every donated medication for safety, quality, and packaging before it is distributed.
This program ensures:
- Safe, high-quality medications
- Lower costs
- More consistent access
- Less medication waste in Minnesota
It’s a compassionate, practical way to ensure people receive essential medications without financial strain — perfectly aligned with Aslan Health’s mission to care for the whole person.
4. Manage Chronic Conditions Early
Chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and heart disease can become expensive if left untreated.
Getting regular care prevents:
- Emergency room visits
- Long hospital stays
- Expensive complications
- Missed work or income
Aslan Health helps patients stay ahead of chronic conditions with affordable visits, close monitoring, and access to low-cost medications.
5. Don’t Delay Care When Something Feels Wrong
Waiting too long to seek help often leads to bigger problems — and bigger bills.
Our walk-in model makes it easy to get care when you need it:
- No appointments
- No scheduling stress
- Evening and Saturday hours
- Affordable flat-rate pricing
If something feels off, come in. Early care saves money, time, and health.
6. Utilize Community Resources
Central Minnesota offers a variety of programs that can further reduce healthcare costs.
Aslan Health can connect you with:
- Food shelves
- Nutrition programs
- Mental health resources
- Medication assistance programs
- Affordable exercise opportunities
- Support groups and community partners
We believe healing happens best in community, and we are committed to walking with you beyond the exam room.
