At Sunshine Community Health Center, we believe that cost should never stand between you and the care you need.
That’s why we offer a Sliding Fee Scale (SFS) Discount Program—a simple, confidential way to reduce the cost of your care based on your household income and family size.
No One Is Turned Away
Your health matters. No matter your financial situation, you will never be turned away due to an inability to pay. The Sliding Fee Scale is one of the ways we make sure care stays accessible for everyone in our community.
How the Sliding Fee Scale Works
The program is designed to be straightforward and fair:
· Discounts are based only on your income and household size
· There are no hidden factors or complicated requirements
· The goal is to meet you where you are and make care manageable
You Can Qualify—Even With Insurance
Many people assume they won’t qualify if they have insurance—but that’s not always true.
Even if you are insured, you may still be eligible for reduced out-of-pocket costs, helping ease the burden of copays, deductibles, and other expenses.
Applying Is Simple
Getting started is easy. You can:
· Ask any Sunshine CHC staff member for an application
· Connect with one of our Patient Advocates, who will walk you through the process step-by-step
We’re here to make this as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Your Privacy Matters
We understand that financial conversations can feel personal. That’s why:
· All applications are completely confidential
· Information is handled with care and kept private and secure
