Sliding Fee Application

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Community Health & Wellness Partners sliding fee discount program provides for a reduced cost of service for patients who belong to a household that is under 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. The discount can be utilized for all services received by an eligible patient on a single date of service. The total cost could range from $25-$65 for services such as general office and behavioral health visits, procedures, preventative exams, and most vaccines.

Patients can be eligible for the sliding fee discount, even if they have insurance coverage. The discount will be applied to any remaining copay, coinsurance or deductible amounts for that date of service.
