About the Sliding Fee Scale
As a Federally Qualified Health Center, PHC offers Medical, Dental, Behavioral Health, Pharmacy and lab services on a Sliding Fee Scale. This means that you may be eligible for discounts depending on your household income and family size.
- Sliding fee discounts are available to you even if you have health insurance.
- Sliding Fee Scale Applications must be renewed annually.
