Sliding Fee Scale Policy Summary:
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), Goshen Medical Center, Inc. is required to provide a sliding fee scale discount to patients who meet the eligibility guidelines. Sliding fee scale patients are those with household incomes that fall at 100% and below poverty up to 200% of federal poverty. The eligibility requirements are based on the federal poverty guidelines published annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The sliding fee scale discounts can range from 20% to 100% off of the charges for the date of service. If the patient is able to demonstrate that total household size and income results in 100% discount, there is however a nominal fee of $25 for medical services. If the patient is verifiably homeless, presently a resident of a homeless shelter, transitional, doubling up or truly living on the street, then they are only required to pay $1.00 for services at any of our locations.

In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
