It is the policy of the Institute for Population Health, Inc. (IPH), that required services at the Designated FQHC Health Center locations are accessible without regard to a person’s ability to pay. According to the Board of Directors, IPH Health Center is required to serve all patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay for services. However, you may be expected to pay a nominal fee for services, based on sliding fee scale federal poverty guidelines and eligibility determination, such as family size and income. Proof of income is required. IPH staff will provide assistance with insurance enrollment for those patients who are eligible.

This requirement is fundamental to the IPH Health Center model as the majority of the Health Center’s patients are low-income, under-insured, or uninsured persons with no other primary health care.
