Program Information

At Family Medical Centers, your ability to pay should never stand in the way of your care. Our Sliding Fee Scale Program helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients, based on household size and income.

Here’s how it works:
  • Patients provide proof of income (like a pay stub or benefits letter) during registration.
  • Discounts are applied on a sliding scale according to federal poverty guidelines.
  • The result? Lower fees for visits, lab work, prescriptions, and more.

For many patients, this means affordable care when it’s needed most.

Based on household size and income, the Sliding Fee Scale is available to:

  • Uninsured individuals
  • Underinsured patients with high deductibles or limited coverage
  • Insured patients who may be facing financial hardship

If you’re unsure of your eligibility status, our staff can help you through the process with compassion and respect. We’re here to help you understand your options and make care more manageable.

Healthcare is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. The Sliding Fee Scale Discount Program helps make sure that no one has to choose between going to the doctor and paying the bills. By making care more affordable, we help our patients:

  • Stay ahead of preventable conditions
  • Manage chronic illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure
  • Receive ongoing support for mental and emotional health
  • Access care early, rather than waiting until issues become urgent
