Start Moving. Stay Healthy.

ND Moves Together is a statewide initiative that offers simple ways to add more physical activity, eat better and feel your best.

Why This Matters

Let's make North Dakota healthy again.

Chronic diseases linked to low physical activity and poor nutrition are rising—especially in rural areas. Nearly two-thirds of residents do not get enough daily movement, contributing to high rates of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

If hospitalization may be needed, initial contact should be made via the appropriate regional human service center. Behavioral health professionals from the regional human service centers will refer an individual to the State Hospital for specialized inpatient services if the individual meets the criteria for severity of illness and intensity of service need.

The North Dakota Legislature requires that the State Hospital provides for a portion of its allocated budget by collecting payment for services it provides. The cost of treatment is based on a daily rate that varies depending on the intensity of services required.

Like other hospitals, the State Hospital submits claims to patients' insurance companies, and also receives Medicaid funding for patients younger than 21 years of age or older than 65 years of age.

A sliding fee scale is available for individuals who do not have the resources to pay for their treatment. Hospital staff will work with patients and explain how the sliding fee scale works.
