Turning Point Clinic Provides Services Regardless of Patient's Ability to Pay

It is the policy of Turning Point Clinic to provide essential services regardless of the patient's ability to pay. Sliding Fee Scale discounts are offered based upon family income and size, which may adjust the cost of your office visits and medications. Persons who may contribute to your family/household size may include yourself, spouse, domestic partner, children under 18; and parents, grandparents and adult children.

The Sliding Fee Scale discount will apply to all services received at this clinic, but not those services which are purchased from outside, including reference laboratory testing, drugs, and x-ray interpretation by a consulting provider, and other such services. In the hope that your financial situation improves, discounts apply only to current, not future services. To remain eligible, this form must be updated regularly.

Please complete the Discount/Sliding Fee application and the Family Assistance Plan application and return to Turning Point's Intake/Registration Desk to determine if you or members of your family are eligible for a discount.
