Sliding Fee Scale

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Partnership Health Center offers medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and lab services on a sliding fee scale. This means that you may be eligible for discounts depending on your household income and family size.  

When you check in for your appointment we will ask you for a nominal fee. Your balance after insurance payments and the sliding fee scale discount will be billed to you. 

The sliding fee scale discounts are available to you even if you have insurance.  

Sliding fee scale applications must be renewed annually.

  • 1040, 1040A or 1040 EZ Tax return form
  • One month of recent back to back-to-back pay stubs
  • Social security benefit letter
