How much will I have to pay? State and federal
funding supports your EIS clinic services, but requires that you will
be financially screened and charged a co-pay according to your ability
to pay. A Sliding Fee Scale provides the minimum co-pay amounts for clients
with a gross annual income between 101%-300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
These guidelines are adjusted every year. A financial screening will determine
if you will be charged a co-pay. Many patients have an income below 100%
of the Federal Poverty Line and therefore are exempt from the sliding
fee scale co-pay. Others will pay $5, $7, or $10. In 12 months time patients
will not be charged more than 5%, 7%, or 10% of their Annual Gross Income.
No patient will be denied services because of inability to pay. |
