In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.

I have been to this clinic.I have diabetes. I needed medical care. I paid based on my income (sliding-scale). The staff was unfriendly. I waited more than 24 hours went in and filled out app. for sliding scale..not looking for handouts..2 ppl in the place ..could not be seen that day..made me an appt for over a month later..they told me i could walk in if i needed anything..when i went back to try and get a pres. refill they said you have to be seen first time then you could able to be a walk in...again only 2 ppl. in the place..wft is going on here ..this place is a scam.. you would probably die before you get seen here..do yourself a favor ..go somewhere else.. i think this is one of those medicare fraud places..there never any patients there,so how the hell can they give you an appt. 1-2 months later....Im not going back..if the staff is incompetent , then the doctors must be DUMBASSES !!
