ForwardPart 1: The Basics – SFDP 101
This webinar is part 1 of 3 in "The Sliding Fee Discount Program: Updates and Developments" webinar series. To purchase the full series, click here.
Every health center must establish a Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) that is both effective in minimizing financial barriers to care while remaining reasonable and compliant with HRSA requirements. Part 1 of this webinar series will focus on the basic, HRSA-required SFDP elements, consistent with the Health Center Program Compliance Manual. Participants will also explore the common “high-risk” areas of non-compliance related to these core SFDP requirements. Topics include, but may not be limited to:
- Establishing, evaluating and updated the SFDP, the Sliding Fee Discount Schedule(s) and Nominal Fee(s)
- Determining when and how to establish multiple Sliding Fee Discount Schedules
- Conducting income assessment and eligibility verification processes
- Notifying patients of the availability of the SFDP
- Establishing the Board-approved SFDP policy
The on-demand version of this webinar series will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar series.
