The guidelines are based on the current poverty guidelines as established by the federal government. Patients shall have the opportunity to apply for the Family Assistance Program, at the time of their appointment. The fee reduction is identified in increments of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%.

The sliding fee scale will be updated annually and quantified with the U.S. Poverty Rates that are also updated annually.
