As a Federally Qualified Community Health Center, White House Clinics receive federal funding to provide a discount to uninsured or indigent patients.
The federal government provides specific instruction as to the use of this money so White House Clinics follow very standardized procedures for enrollment.
Patients interested in enrolling in the discount program meet with the financial counselors at one of our locations and complete a short questionnaire regarding your household (number of people, income, etc.)
The discount program is based on household income, not necessarily family income.
To receive the discount, the patient will need to provide verification of income.
White House Clinics accept the following documents as proof of income:
-
2 – 3 Paycheck Stubs
-
Letter from Social Security/Disability
-
Long Form from Food Stamp Office
-
Copy of Check/Bank Statement to Verify Child Support Payments
Other documents may work, but please ask your Financial Counselor about specific requirements.
The discount level is based on the income and number of people in the household. There are five discount levels ranging from 10 – 85 percent. This means that the patient would be responsible for payment of as little as 15 percent of the total bill.
In the medical clinic, patients on the highest level of discount pay a $10 flat fee. These discount rates apply to both the medical and dental clinics.
Medications purchased from the White House Clinics pharmacy are also discounted.
Although we do provide a discount for services, White House Clinics are NOT free clinics. We do expect and require payment at the time of service in both our medical and dental clinics, as well as our pharmacy.
For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and debit/credit cards.
Patient interested in signing up for the discount may complete the
Sliding Fee Form and bring it, along with proof of income, to their appointment.
The patient should give the form to the receptionist so that the patient can meet with the financial counselor during the visit.
