Sliding Fee Discount

CareArc offers discounted services to patients who are uninsured or have low income. The amount that a patient pays is based on the federal income levels. This sliding scale fee is applicable to all office visits, excluding immunizations. Each year the federal government sets a Federal Poverty Line (FPL) and new income levels that qualify patients for discounted care. The income levels are based on a patient’s gross income (how much money you make each year before taxes are taken out).

The Sliding Fee Scale Discount Program is available to all qualifying patients regardless of insurance status. CareArc will never deny healthcare based on the patient's inability to pay.
