Insurance, Payment, and Sliding Fee Scale

Payment and Sliding Fee Scale

Whitefoord provides equal access to all our patients regardless of source of payment and accepts most private health insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. We also offer income-based sliding fee scale schedule. Fees on the sliding fee scale are based on income and family size so that quality health care is accessible and affordable. If you do not have health insurance, we can help you understand your options and costs. Call 404-373-6614 to learn more about insurance assistance.

No one is denied services at Whitefoord, Inc. due to an inability to pay.

2023 Sliding Fee Discount

If you do not have health insurance or need help paying for expenses that health insurance does not cover, we offer a Sliding Fee Discount to patients who qualify. The Sliding Fee is determined based on your income level and the number of members in your household.

To apply for the Sliding Fee Scale Program, patients must supply required documentation; including valid photo identification, proof of income for the past 30 days and current address verification. Patients are required to recertify every twelve (12) months.

What Should I Bring?

  • Photo ID

  • If you have medical insurance, bring a copy of your insurance card.

  • If you have Medicaid or Medicare, bring a copy of your card with you.

  • If you do not have insurance coverage, proof of income for the past 30 days is required to qualify for our sliding fee scale program. Re-certification is required every twelve months.

  • If this is your first visit to Whitefoord, please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to your appointment time.
