Sliding Fee

The mission of InclusivCare is to assure that quality healthcare is accessible and affordable to the medically under-served, uninsured, under-insured, and low to moderate income residents. To assure affordability, the Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) is designed to assist eligible patients with accessing quality healthcare regardless of their inability to pay. The SFDP only applies to  activities and services within InclusivCare's approved scope of project. Eligible patients will be assessed on a sliding fee scale using family size and income. Signs are posted in all waiting and reception areas throughout the center to inform individuals of the SFDP.

InclusivCare  provides services and access to care without regard to age, gender,  race, sexual preference, disability, religion, or financial resource.
