Q: What is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center?
A: A community health center is a non-profit, consumer-directed health care corporation that provides comprehensive primary and preventive health care services. They are located in an area designated as a Health Professional Shortage Area (based on physician to population ratio) and a Medically Underserved Area (based on such data as infant mortality rate, percent of poverty and percent of elderly).

Q: What is the Sliding Fee Program?
A: Every community health center must establish a fee schedule that is consistent with locally prevailing rates or charges and designed to cover its reasonable costs of operation. Centers must also prepare a corresponding schedule of discounts to be applied to the payment of such fees which are adjusted on the basis of the patient's family size and household income. The schedule of discounts is structured from the current federal Department of Health and Human Services' Poverty Income Guidelines.
