ACHS offers affordable health care for you and your entire family.
At ACHS, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to all, regardless of income, insurance status, or ability to pay. That’s why we’re proud to be a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), which enables us to offer a wide range of healthcare services to our community.
Our Sliding Fee Scale (SFS) program is designed to reduce the cost of services we provide, making them more affordable for income-eligible uninsured or underinsured patients. Eligibility for the SFS program is based on family income and size and is available for various healthcare services, including medical office visits, lab fees, vaccinations, and prescriptions.
As an ACHS patient, you’ll have access to a range of discounted services through our partners, including Littleton Regional Healthcare and Cottage Hospital. We’re committed to ensuring that our patients receive comprehensive, high-quality care that is both affordable and accessible.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility is based on your household size and income. Anyone in the household over the age of 19 can be eligible to receive SFS.
How do I qualify?
To find out if you qualify, you’ll need to fill out an application and provide proof of income. Application forms can be found at reception at any ACHS site, by speaking to an ACHS team member at 603.444.2464, or by clicking here.
What if I have insurance?
Even if you have insurance, you may still qualify for SFS. We’ll process your insurance claim first, and then any remaining balance may be adjusted based on the sliding fee guide.
Do I have to provide financial information?
Yes. To determine your eligibility for SFS, and what you’ll pay, we’ll need proof of income and your household size. Proof of income can be determined easily with Paycheck stubs, current year tax returns for self-employed individuals, and other items. You can fill out the form here: SFS patient application_10.21
How do you determine household size?
Anyone living in a household, where legal financial responsibility for support exists, is considered a household member. Non-related persons do not count as household members unless there is a legal requirement for support.
How often do I need to apply?
You’ll need to apply annually or if there is a change in household or income status.
How much will I have to pay?
You will be expected to pay for the services you’ll receive. That amount will vary based on where you fall on the SFS schedule. You’ll pay at least $15 for Office Visits and Vision Care. This amount is due at the time of your visit. The SFS schedule can be viewed in our brochure below or by clicking here
