Current through December 10, 2024
Rule 24-1-8.1.9 - POVERTY GUIDELINES

Annual poverty guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shall be used to determine a discount to be applied to the regular private pay charge. Families receiving income equal to 200% or more of the federal poverty guideline applicable to their family size shall receive no discount. Families receiving less than 200% of the federal poverty guideline shall receive the discount specified in the column of the Sliding Fee Scale for their level of income and family size. Once an amount due is determined, additional discounts may be made on a case by case basis to ensure that no person is denied services based on inability to pay for such services.
