Aria Community Health Center Cost, Insurance & Sliding Fees
Aria states that patients unable to pay are not denied services solely because of inability to pay. It offers financial-assistance options, including a Sliding Fee Scale Program based on household income and family size.
Ask whether your exact plan and assigned provider are accepted. Copayments, deductibles and referral rules depend on coverage.
Request a sliding-fee assessment and ask whether you qualify for any other available assistance programs.
Sliding-Fee Application Requirements
The official Aria application and billing page identify these documents:
- Most recent paycheck stub or other requested proof of income.
- Proof of residential address.
- Identification.
- Household or dependent information, where applicable.
The bilingual application asks for the patient’s name, date of birth, annual household income, household size and signature. The clinic reviews the supplied information and determines the qualifying payment amount.
How to Apply for Reduced Fees
- Call the billing support team or your clinic.
- Ask for the Sliding Fee Scale Program.
- Download the bilingual application and provide household information.
