Sunshine Clinic does not want financial constraints to prevent individuals and families from seeking their needed care; therefore, we have adopted a sliding fee discount schedule. We ask that all new patients meet with one of our patient advocates to register and to determine eligibility for the slide discount program. Nominal fees are below, along with items that will be needed to meet with our patient advocates:
Nominal Fees
Office Visit    $25
Labs             $15
X-ray            $20
Meds            $5
For your appointment with the Patient Advocate you will need:
    Proof of household income (last two pay stubs or tax returns from the previous year) and/or
    Social verification records (Food Stamps, Public Assistance etc) or
    Two reference letters from different sources that can verify that you do not receive any income
    Information regarding the existence of any third party insurance (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, SCHIP, etc.)
Eligibility process and expectations:
    Patients with no third party coverage will be expected to provide appropriate information for the completion of the Sliding Fees Scale Eligibility form
    Eligibility forms must be signed by the patients, reviewed and approved by SCHC
    Determination of eligibility for sliding fee scale discounts are done on an annual basis
    Patients qualifying for a sliding fee discount will be expected to pay an affordable flat fee at the time services are rendered
    This payment will cover a single provider visit
    There will be additional charges for ancillary services such as lab, x-rays and medication
    This payment does not cover dental; there is a separate schedule for those services
No patient will be declined care because of a documented inability to pay for services.
