How do I know what I will pay for my care?
Our experts in the Eligibility Department will help determine what you will pay based on your income and household size, and whether you have insurance or Medicaid or Medicare Advantage Plans. If you carry insurance, you may still be eligible for our sliding scale fee for care. Each person’s circumstance determines the amount they pay. The Federal Poverty Guideline Scale and our Sliding Fee Discount Scale is posted under Patient Info.

What is a sliding scale fee?
Sliding scale fees are the nominal fee or copayment amount for services based on the patient’s ability to pay. Fees for services are reduced for those who have lower incomes or can show that they are unable to pay the full cost of insurance or service. Note that sliding scale fees are not considered to be health insurance. Even patients above the income scale for the sliding fee discount can access care at MarillacHealth. 

Is health care at Marillac free?
Except for persons who are homeless, Marillac services are not free. A sliding fee scale approved annually by Marillac’s Board of Directors enables patients to contribute according to their ability to pay. The eligibility process is important to determine the sliding fee / copay.

If I am a patient and I have other family members who also need health care, are they automatically able to receive care at Marillac?
All members of a family must be screened for eligibility for low cost care at MarillacHealth.
