What is a Sliding Fee Scale?

​

The Pediatric & Family Health and Wellness Center offers services to clients regardless of their ability to pay. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), fees are adjusted on a sliding scale based on your gross household income and household size. The payment amount is calculated using federal guidelines. This means that if you are uninsured or have a high deductible from your insurance provider, you may qualify for a discounted fee for services, co-payments and/or deductibles.  To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.

​

You may apply for a discounted fee by completing and submitting the Sliding Fee Discount Form at the registration desk with the required proof of income and family size at your first appointment and annually thereafter. The documents listed on the right are acceptable for proof of income:.
