Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sliding Fee Program, and how is it different from health insurance?
Health insurance is formal coverage provided by an outside plan (like Medi-Cal, Medicare, or Covered California) that pays for medical services. The Sliding Fee Program is not health insurance. It is a direct discount offered by Universal Community Health Center that lowers the out-of-pocket cost of your clinic visits based on your family size and household income. If you do not qualify for insurance, the Sliding Fee Program ensures you can still receive quality care without paying full price.
What if I do not qualify for Medi-Cal or traditional insurance?
We are here to help! You will never be turned away for care. UCHC offers a Sliding Fee Discount Program based on your household size and income.
How do I request an interpreter for my medical appointments?
Let our staff know when you schedule your appointment. We offer free translation services so you can communicate comfortably with your provider in your preferred language.
