What if I do not have insurance?<\/a><\/div>
[vc_column_text]Community Health Center of Central Missouri offers a Sliding Fee Discount<\/strong> based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines to assist uninsured patients in receiving quality care. The Sliding Fee Discount income guidelines are updated annually on the first of each fiscal year by the CFO with approval from the Board of Directors. These guidelines are updated each calendar year. Patients cannot be seen on the Sliding Fee program until they have completed the necessary paperwork and enrollment process. Once approved, the agreement will be valid for the remainder of the current fiscal year, at which time the patient will be required to re-enroll. At any time, while receiving assistance through the slide program, the patient is required to report any changes in household occupancy or financial status for re-evaluation.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div>
