Sliding Fee Scale Program

Lowering the cost of healthcare for eligible patients.

Our Community Resource Team can answer any questions you have about the Sliding Scale Program and the Community Benefit Program.

Am I eligible for this program?

Patients qualify for this program based on their annual gross income and family size. They can be insured, uninsured or underinsured.

Eligible patients will receive discounts on their medical, dental and behavioral health bills.

Anyone at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level will receive most healthcare services at a discount. Families below 100% of the federal poverty level will receive most health care services at a very low cost. The 2024 Federal Poverty Level Guidelines are as follows. They are based on Gross Annual Income and Family Size.

Poverty Level	100%	125%	150%	175%	200%	>200%
Patient Fee	Nominal Fee	20%	40%	60%	80%	100%

How do you define a “family”?

A family includes the patient and others related by birth, marriage or adoption who reside together. Family also includes unrelated individuals living in the same household who are supported by (or are supporting) a family member. Foster children are not included in family size.

Households below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level are eligible to receive a discount.

Families can also receive discounts on medications prescribed by our providers. Call us to learn about our Community Benefit Program.
