Patient fees for all services are adjusted using a sliding fee scale based on federal poverty guidelines. During this period, sliding fee discounts applied to patient visits totaled $757,444. Through our onsite resource coordinators and outreach and enrollment specialists, we provided connections with community resources able to help with non-medical needs, as well as provided assistance with health insurance enrollments. Through the medication assistance program, 143 prescriptions were provided at little or no cost to patients, while 2,957 prescriptions were provided through the federal 340(b) program. We estimate that access to these pharmacy programs provided savings of approximately $270,607 for our patients during the period july 1, 2016 through june 30, 2017.
