Sliding Fee Scale

Due to rising costs and loss of employment, more and more of our patients are using our Sliding Fee Scale, which bases the cost of their visit on their income, to pay for appointments. In addition, many patients come to us with Medicaid to pay for their visit. After submitting claims to Medicaid and applying our sliding fee scale, we’re paid significantly less than our usual “fee for service” charges. With the increase in patients that are uninsured or on Medicaid we’re finding that we can’t keep up with our overhead costs of staffing, building, vaccines, malpractice insurance, etc.

Many of our patients are on several medications, which they must pay for out of pocket. In the past, drug representatives have given us samples to help them out. Recently, the sample donations are dwindling, leaving us no avenue to help these patients. There are many health care needs in this community. We need your help in filling the gap between what the patients and insurers can provide and what it actually costs us to provide that care. Please help us keep our doors open to the uninsured and underinsured!

We’re still accepting new patients! Please call one of our offices for more details!
