Suncoast provides services on a sliding fee scale based on schedule E (100%), D (75%), C (50%) B (25%) A ($15) standard fee according to family income and number of family members in the household.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Brandon Community Health Center - SCHC website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. 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%.
