Velvet Urgo How does the sliding fee scale work?
MCHD Dentistry offers a sliding fee scale to our qualifying uninsured patients. If your income and family population qualifies, you could receive a 50% discount if under 18 years of age. Patients over the age of 18, the amount changes to a 20% discount. To qualify for this discount, you have to show proof of income for the household and your income has to fall under the cap amount (proof must be in the form of completed prior year tax filing or other government-issued proof of income. Pay stubs and bank statements are not valid to be filed as proof of income with the Monongalia County Board of Health). Please see chart for range. All patients enrolled in the sliding fee scale program must update their income status by May 1 of each year to remain qualified.
MCHD Dentistry does not receive any funding to make up for the difference discounted, as MCHD Dentistry is totally self-funded. Limitations apply, especially to lab fees as the discount we extend to you does not reduce our outside lab fees that we pay.
We are proud to be able to help our community members afford much needed dental care!
