FAQs

Your fees may be discounted, based on family size and income.

CenterPlace Health is committed to serving all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Although we do accept many healthcare insurance plans, patients who are not covered by insurance will not be turned away.

 

Many patients are surprised to learn that they are eligible for low-cost healthcare programs. Knowledgeable staff is available to help you understand and navigate the enrollment process.

CenterPlace Health offers medical care on a sliding scale fee discount, depending on income and family size.

At CenterPlace Health, we accept Medicare, some Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicaid, and most Medicaid Replacement Plans, most Private Insurances and Self- Pay. For patients who do not have insurance, we use an income-based formula to offer reduced rates for those who qualify. Everyone is expected to pay but no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Payment plan arrangements are available upon request for those who do not qualify and are uninsured.

To make an appointment please call our Call Center at 941-529-0200.
