Sliding Fee Discount Program
Kevin S. Weatherly, Ph.D. operates a Sliding Fee Discount
Program (SFDP) consistent with the requirements of the
National Health Service Corps:
• No one will be denied access to services due to
inability to pay.
• There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available
based on family size and income.
The Sliding Fee Discount Program is available to all patients regardless of insurance status. Eligibility is based solely on family size and household income, measured against the current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines.
We do not consider credit history, assets, insurance status, or proof of denial from public assistance programs when determining eligibility.
How to Apply
To apply for the Sliding Fee Discount Program, request an application from the practice in person or by phone. We will review your application and notify you of your eligibility before your next scheduled appointment.
Most applications are approved using basic income verification (recent pay stubs, tax return, or benefit award letter). If you are unable to provide standard documentation, we accept self-attestation in good faith, consistent with our Sliding Fee Discount Program policy.

Good Faith Estimates
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, healthcare providers and healthcare facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal healthcare program or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers must give patients without insurance or who do not plan to use their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
– You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
– Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
– If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
– Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
