You Could Spend Less on Medical Care If You Qualify for A Hidden Discount Offered by Some Doctors

If you’re struggling with health care cost and often avoid going to the doctor due to the cost of a single appointment, then fear not: there is a little-known discount offered by many doctors in Vermont. If you qualify, you’ll spend less on medical care.

It’s called a Sliding Fee Scale and it’s offered by doctors, dentists, and more all over Vermont at locations classified as FQHCs (federally qualified health centers). If you qualify for the Sliding Fee Scale offered by these providers and centers, you’ll save money at that doctor’s office. Read on to learn more about FQHCs and the Sliding Fee Scale discount.

Low-Cost Doctor Visits in Vermont

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are community-based organizations that provide comprehensive primary and preventative care to underserved communities. FQHCs are required to serve all patients, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, and they do not limit their services to residents of a specific county or region. This means that anyone can receive care at an FQHC, regardless of where they live.

Visit an FQHC for medical, dental, or mental health care and ask to apply for their Sliding Fee Scale. The application process takes minutes and usually only requires submitting proof of identity as well as information about your income and household size. Results are usually given within minutes.
