Sliding Fee Scale Programs
SMC receives a portion of its funding from the US Department of Health & Human Services. Sliding Fee Scale (SFS) is for uninsured and under-insured patients. SMC offer several SFS discounts of our services based on household income and family size.
Self-Pay Patients
Patients, who do not have insurance or do not qualify for the SFS program, will be responsible for full charges. Please note that you can still receive medical services at SMC and our financial advisors will gladly work with you to accommodate your financial needs.
