How do sliding fees work?
We inform each patient about the sliding fee program. Patients may apply for sliding fees by providing an indication of their income. We review a patient's income annually.

What are sliding fees?
Our mission is to build a health community by providing affordable high quality health care. Sliding fees adjust the cost of health care to a patient's income (ability to pay). Patients pay anywhere from 100% to 10% of the cost of their health care. Patients who cannot afford to pay even 10% of the cost of their health care may volunteer for community-building organizations in exchange for health care (see the More Than Money program).
