Sliding Fee Scale

Providing Medical Services ~ To People in Need

Regardless of Ability to Pay

Visiting your primary care doctor is very important to stay healthy. We want you to be able to keep your appointments, so if payment is difficult, we have a way to help!

What is the sliding fee discount program?

The Sliding Fee Discount Program allows all patients (referred to as applicants) to receive healthcare services at a reduced cost based on income and family size.  To be eligible for a Sliding Fee Discount, applicants must provide evidence of household income not exceeding double the published annual Federal Poverty Guidelines for the current year; which varies depending upon the size of the family and the number of people that live in the household.

Based upon income guidelines, the Sliding Fee Discount available may be a nominal charge. The nominal fee can be waived if there is financial hardship or if the fee is a barrier to accessing care. Additionally, applicants appearing to be at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, will be referred to a representative who will assist the applicant in completing a health insurance application. Representatives will be available on specific days at the Tri-County health centers. Need help with health insurance?  We have insurance navigators who can help you with that. Here is their contact information and when they will take calls to help you.
