Sliding Fee Scale

A Sliding Fee Scale is a payment system that adjusts healthcare or service costs based on your income and family size. It aims to make essential services more affordable for those with lower incomes by reducing fees accordingly. Instead of a fixed price, your fee is scaled according to what you can reasonably pay, ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent access to necessary care. This approach helps promote equitable access to services, supporting individuals and families regardless of their economic situation.
