Insurance and Financial Assistance Program Information

Valley-Wide’s financial eligibility assistance team can provide information and application assistance for the following programs listed below. You can call and make an appointment with an eligibility specialist or ask the front desk staff to connect you with an eligibility specialist at the time of your appointment. All programs are based on household size and household income.

• Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP): A federal program administered through Valley-Wide for patients whose households are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The Sliding Fee Discount program bases the amount you pay for Valley-Wide services you receive on your household size and income. This program is available to all Valley-Wide patients who meet income criteria, regardless of insurance status for dental, physical therapy, medical and behavioral health appointments.

• Primary Care Fund Program (PCF 201-250): A program administered by Valley-Wide for patients whose income is between 201%-250% of the FPL.

• Medicaid: A state/federal program that provides healthcare coverage for children and adults who are financially eligible.

Patients can apply on their own for this or can make an appointment to see a Valley-Wide Patient Navigator for application assistance.
• Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+): A state program that provides healthcare coverage for children and pregnant women who are not eligible for Medicaid and who meet other criteria.

Please be sure to keep your contact information up-to-date with your local county or in your PEAK account to help avoid losing coverage.
