Sliding Scale Fees

Sliding scale fees are a flexible pricing system used by some service providers, such as healthcare facilities or legal aid organizations, to adjust their charges based on a person's ability to pay. Instead of a fixed price, individuals are assessed based on their income level or financial situation, allowing those with lower incomes to pay less, while those with higher incomes pay more. This approach aims to make services more accessible to everyone, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from receiving necessary assistance.
