Sliding Fee Program
We offer discounted fees for patients who qualify.Our staff is available to assist you in determining your eligibility for a variety of health benefits coverage options. These options may include a sliding fee scale discount, special grant-provided services, or public-funded health care coverage. Eligibility is based on gross household income and family size. To determine eligibility, you (the patient) must bring ONE of the following items along with a completed Sliding Fee Discount Program Application:
current year's tax form (1040 form),
2 current pay stubs,
1 unemployment stub, or
letter from employer on letterhead that states your salary or wages.
If you have none of the above items available,you must provide a letter of reference from any 501(c)(3) (non-profit) organization on their letterhead (for example, your church). The patient/responsible party must complete the Sliding Fee Discount Program Application in its entirety.
