What is the Sliding-fee Discount Program?

The Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center seeks to make its services more affordable for anyone who qualifies based on income and family size. Typically the discount program benefits individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or have low income. This program provides a discount off of the health center’s normal charges and applies to most, but not all, of the heath center’s services. If you think you may qualify, please review this booklet carefully as it provides all the information you need to get started.

How does the Sliding-fee Discount Program work?

We review your current income and family size to see if you qualify for the program.

Is the Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center a free clinic?

No, we are not a free clinic. There is a charge for the healthcare services that we provide. However, because we are a Federally Qualified Health Center, we are able to offer reduced rates to people who qualify.

How do I get started?

The first step is to meet with one of our Eligibility Representatives located at each of our care sites. At our Columbus Avenue location, you may schedule an appointment by calling this number: 203-503-3683.

What do I need to bring with me?

In order to apply, you will need to provide the following materials and information:

  • Proof of Medicaid coverage denial during the prior 90 days (example: letter of denial).
  • Photo identification and a recently postmarked (within previous 30 days) piece of mail indicating a current address (example: utility bill, bank statement, etc).
  • Proof of household income and family size. (example: Federal tax return, recent paystubs, etc). If you are a homeless individual, our Homeless Healthcare Program will assist you.
