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 seen three times at the time at Waddell clinic; each time they listened to me and helped me with my problem. The wait may be a bit long at times because I was a drop in but the quality of care was wonderful and the nurses and doctors were great. I recommend tom Waddell to anyone who needs help and may be embarrassed to ask for it they don't make you feel bad for asking...very nice people
