Sliding Fee Scale
Henderson Wellness Clinic offers discounted medical care to patients who are uninsured and have low income. The amount a patient pays is based on the federal income levels. Each year the federal government sets a Federal Poverty Line (FPL) and new income levels that qualify patients for discounted care. The income levels are based on a patient’s gross income (how much money you make each year before taxes are taken out).
