The Sliding Fee Discount Program will be offered to all patients with annual incomes at or below 200 percent of the most current Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). Dignity and confidentiality will be respected for all who seek and/or are provided mental health care services.
You can request information and an application for sliding scale consideration to minimize the financial impact on your family. In order to complete the application, you must supply at least 2 forms of identification and proof of income (i.e., W-2) for all members of your household. A discount of up to 25% may be offered.
Sliding scale discounts are offered in good faith. If a patient verbally expresses an unwillingness to pay or vacates the premises without paying for services, the patient will be contacted in writing regarding their payment obligations. If the client does not make effort to pay or fails to respond within 60 days, this constitutes refusal to pay. At this point in time, I can explore options not limited to, but including referring the client to collections.
