Sliding Fee Discount: How Much Will a Visit Cost?
FCHC offers a sliding-fee discount program for eligible patients. The discount is based on household income and household size in relation to federal poverty guidelines, not simply whether someone has insurance.
Insured and uninsured patients may request an eligibility review.
Eligible discounts depend on financial information and the current published policy.
How to Apply for Reduced Fees
- Choose your clinic. Ask registration staff to review your eligibility for the Sliding Fee Discount Program.
- State your household size. Include the people counted under the clinic’s eligibility rules.
- Prepare income information. Ask which proof of income or financial-declaration documents are accepted.
- Complete the application. Provide the requested details through the clinic’s approved process.
- Ask for your discount category. Confirm the estimated charge for the specific service you need.
- Check extra charges. Ask about outside laboratories, specialist referrals, medications and any services not covered by the discount.
What if You Already Have Insurance?
FCHC states that eligible sliding-fee assistance may still apply after insurance processes a claim, including certain deductible and copayment balances. Ask billing staff how this works for your plan and service.
Exact fees: A complete current visit-price schedule was not confirmed for all FCHC locations. Rather than presenting inaccurate statewide prices, request an estimate for the specific service, clinician and clinic.
How to Book a Florida Community Health Center Appointment
The fastest method is to contact the specific clinic that offers your required service. FCHC also provides online appointment request options through its website.
- Identify the required care. Decide whether you need primary care, pediatrics, dental, OB/GYN or another service.
- Choose the appropriate location. Use the clinic table above to select a nearby site that advertises your service.
- Contact that clinic. Call the listed number or select the online appointment option on its official page.
- Explain the appointment type. State whether you are a new or existing patient and describe the type of service without sending sensitive medical details through an unsecured contact form.
- Confirm insurance and costs. Ask about accepted plans, self-pay estimates and sliding-fee assistance.
- Confirm date and location. Verify the clinician, clinic address, check-in time and any preparation requirements.
- Prepare for your visit. Bring the documents requested by registration and follow any instructions from the clinical team.
New Patient Checklist
- Photo identification, if available or requested.
- Insurance or Medicaid/Medicare information, if applicable.
- Current medication list and known allergies.
- Existing medical records or referral documents, when relevant.
- Vaccination history for pediatric or immunization visits.
- Income information if applying for sliding-fee assistance.
- Parent or guardian information for children, where required.
- Interpreter or accessibility needs to communicate when booking.
Medicaid, Medicare, Uninsured Patients and Benefits Help
FCHC provides assistance for patients who need help understanding healthcare coverage or applying for certain benefits. Its Health Benefits Coordination service describes help with Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance and cash-assistance applications.
Use this contact for information about benefits application and enrollment assistance.
What to Ask a Benefits Coordinator
- Do I qualify for Medicaid or another coverage program?
- Can someone help me complete or renew an application?
- What identification, residence and income documents are needed?
- Is there assistance available while my coverage is pending?
- Can I apply for a sliding-fee discount separately?
A coordinator can help explain an application process, but public-benefit approval is determined by the relevant program, not guaranteed by the health center.
Dental, Pharmacy, Telehealth and Medical Records
Dental Appointments
Confirm that the clinic provides the specific dental service you require and serves your age group. Ask whether an examination is needed before treatment, what coverage applies, and whether an income-based discount is available.
Pharmacy Details
| Pharmacy | Published Information |
|---|---|
| Clewiston | 863-805-5651 Mon 8:30 AM–6 PM; Tue–Thu 8:30 AM–5:30 PM; Fri 8:30 AM–5 PM. |
| Fort Pierce | 772-462-6520 Mon 8:30 AM–6 PM; Tue–Thu 8:30 AM–5:30 PM; Fri 8:30 AM–5 PM. Lunch closure 1–2 PM. |
Pharmacy hours differ from clinic hours. Ask about prescription transfers, refill timing, insurance coverage and mail delivery before arranging pickup.
Behavioral Health Telehealth
FCHC provides telehealth behavioral health services. Its official service page states that initial visits must take place in person at selected locations, including Clewiston, Indiantown, Fort Pierce, Darwin Square, Dr. Fred Brown Children’s Health Center and Lakeshore Medical.
Do not assume every initial or follow-up appointment can be performed virtually; coverage and eligibility rules may change.
How to Request Medical Records
- Contact the location where you received care.
- Ask for the medical records request or authorization process.
- Confirm identity verification and any required signatures.
- Submit records requests using the approved secure channel.
- Ask about processing time, electronic delivery and any applicable fee.
Avoid emailing sensitive patient records to unverified addresses. The FCHC contact page directs patients to their location for medical records assistance.

Wrong Hours
Some sites have evening or Saturday hours, but clinicians and service departments may have different schedules.

If you have limited income, ask for the sliding-fee review before your appointment whenever possible.
Missing Documents
Confirm referral, insurance, vaccination record and income documentation requirements in advance.
