Slide Program
You don’t need health insurance to get affordable care at Jordan Valley. Our sliding fee program helps you access the care you need whether or not you have health coverage. If you qualify for the Slide Program, we will provide discounted rates for certain services at Jordan Valley.
How Does the Slide Program Work?
Slide is applied like a co-pay for each visit. You will be asked to pay a discounted amount at the time of your visit. How much you pay through the Slide Program is based on your total income and household size. We compare those numbers to federal poverty guidelines.
Some tests, procedures and services are not covered by the Slide Program. Before you agree to services, we’ll estimate your cost so you can plan for care.
Once approved, you need to renew your sliding fee program every 12 months.
