Regardless of your income or insurance status, Community Health serves all patients within our practices. Discounts are based on your family size and income for the sliding fee discount program. No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay.
If payment in full for your Community Health services is not possible, you can apply for the sliding fee discount program to see if you qualify. Call 802-342-4224 to schedule time to speak with a Patient Navigator about reviewing the available options and setting up a plan to cover the cost of healthcare for you and your family.
