Fees,
Discounts,
and Online Billing
Federally Qualified Health Centers Work Differently
We at People’s Center want to work with you to achieve better health at a cost that works for you and your family. We have programs to make the services you receive more affordable, more convenient, and more transparent. We accept all major insurance plans, offer a sliding fee discount program, and provide flexible monthly payment plans. Our supportive services and quality improvement team work hard to make sure these programs are available to all patients and stay up to date. These programs include:
Sliding-scale fees
Insurance coaching and application assistance
Flexible monthly payments
Our sliding fee discount program provides discounts on out-of-pocket patient expenses that meet state, local and federal requirements. All patients are eligible to apply for sliding fee discount program.
In the event patients are uninsured or under-insured and are not willing to apply for discounts on services, they will be expected to pay for the full costs of services and out of pocket expenses. People’s Center offers several vehicles to assist patients with the payment on their balances and payment plans. In addition, all patients will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with Financial Counselors to determine a payment program that best suits the your needs. No one is turned away due to an inability to pay for services. You can sign up for a payment plan as low as $10/month. To learn more, please contact our financial counseling department 612-332-4973 Ext.2509.
