Payment is required at the time services are rendered. For Self-Pay clients, charges are calculated using a sliding fee scale based on available household income. In some instances, patients may be billed. The sliding fee schedule is revised annually when revisions to the poverty guidelines are received from the Department of Health and Human Services. We accept state-funded health insurance and private insurance.
