CLINIC RATE
SLIDING FEE SCALE DISCOUNT PROGRAM
Salud has a sliding-fee scale based on family size and income that any Salud patient can apply for to receive discounted services at Salud, if eligible. Patients at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Guideline (FPG) will pay a "nominal charge" based on broad service groupings. For patients between 101%-200% of FPG, Salud will continue to offer sliding-fee discounts that are well below our actual cost to deliver those services. No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay.
For more details, set up an appointment with an enrollment specialist at (303) 697-2583.

Under the “No Surprises Act”, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
By law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This law states:
-
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
-
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
-
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or us at 303-MY-SALUD.
For a copy of Salud’s Good Faith estimates, please click HERE or ask for a copy at the front desk of any Salud clinic.
