Visiting a Patient
NVHC Visitor Policy
For the safety of our community, North Valley Health Center has implemented the following visitor’s policies:
Inpatient Location: Currently, patients who are admitted as inpatients (observation, acute, and skilled swing bed) are being allowed ONE consistent visitor. This visitor will be pre-determined at time of admission by the patient. We are aware that there are circumstances that may require an additional visitor to be allowed, please speak with the patient’s care team to determine the appropriateness of this.
Emergency Department: Currently, patients being evaluated and treated within our Emergency Department are allowed ONE consistent visitor. Again, this restriction may be re-evaluated in extenuating circumstances. Please speak with the patients care team to determine the appropriateness of additional visitors.
All visitors coming through our doors will be screened for illness. We ask at this time that if you have a fever, cough, cold symptoms, or known COVID-19 contacts AND you have not been fully COVID-19 vaccinated that you refrain from visiting.
We all share a common goal of staying safe and want to thank you for your support in keeping our patients and staff safe.
Thank you for your cooperation,
North Valley Health Center Administration

Standard/Current Charges
Beginning January 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are requiring hospitals and health systems to post their “current, standard charges.”
North Valley Health Center charges represented on this website detail the amount billed to insurance companies or uninsured individuals for the described service. For most patients, hospitals are reimbursed at a level well below the represented charges due to the following:
-
Patients covered by commercial insurance products have negotiated rates with hospitals.
-
Patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid programs have hospital reimbursement rates determined by federal and state governments.
-
Hospital charges may include bundled procedures, personnel, services and supplies. An example would be room rates that include the space, equipment, nursing personnel and supplies.
-
When a patient has the opportunity to shop for medical services, he or she should contact his or her own insurance carrier to understand which costs will be covered and which will be the patient’s responsibility.
​
Patients should contact North Valley Health Center directly at (218) 745-4211 for any further details.

NVHC Masking Policy as of May 15, 2023
Following the end of the Federal Public Health Emergency Declaration’s ending on Thursday, May 5, 2023, North Valley Health Center will no longer be posting weekly COVID-19 updates. The CDC COVID-19 data surveillance has been a cornerstone of the HHS’s (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) response to the pandemic, and during the PHE (public health emergency), HHS had the authority to require lab test reporting for COVID-19. At the end of the COVID-19 PHE, HHS will no longer have this express authority to require this data from labs, which will affect the reporting of negative test results and impact the ability to calculate percent positivity for COVID-19 tests in some jurisdictions. Hospital data reporting will continue as required by the CMS conditions of participation through April 30, 2024, but reporting will be reduced from the current daily reporting to weekly. If you have any questions about COVID-19 or what this means, please contact North Valley Public Health at 218-745-5154
​
The end of the PHE also affects NVHC’s masking policy. Masking will continue be required for anyone that is currently experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, is ill with COVID-19, or has been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 when visiting our facility. At this time, we will no longer be changing the masking policy based on community transmission levels. Masks will still be available to all when visiting our facility. If you have any questions about these changes and updates, please contact NVHC at 218-745-4211.
