5 Fees and Insurance We believe that quality health care should be available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We accept Provider One and most types of insurance. Payment for services or proof of insurance is expected at time of service. This includes co-pays. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. We ask all uninsured patients to meet with an Eligibility Specialist to determine if they are eligible for public insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder or a sliding fee discount from Neighborcare Health. The sliding fee discount is available for low-income patients who are not eligible for public insurance. To qualify, a patient must meet with an Eligibility Specialist at one of our clinics. Once a patient qualifies for a sliding fee discount, the minimum fee for a dental appointment is $45. We offer an additional $5 discount if the fee is paid at the time of your appointment. If you are uninsured and choose not to apply for public insurance or the sliding fee discount, we ask you to pay a deposit to defray the initial cost of your care. The dental ($90) deposit will be discounted to $85, if paid at the time of service. Neighborcare Health patients are billed directly by LabCorp for any lab tests and services, and are responsible for paying LabCorp directly. Neighborcare Health informs LabCorp directly if a patient is eligible for the sliding fee discount. Patients with questions or concerns about a current bill are welcome to contact our patient accounts department at Neighborcare Health is a non-profit organization. Public grants and insurance reimbursement cover only a portion of our expenses. Even a small tax-deductible gift can help cover the unmet need to care for a patient. thank you!
