Upper West Side Medical Associates (UWSMA) is committed to ensuring access to healthcare for those with limited financial means.
To achieve this, UWSMA offers a sliding fee discount program based on an individual’s ability to pay. Eligibility for this program is determined without discrimination on various grounds, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and disability, among others. This inclusive approach ensures that all members of the community have the opportunity to receive necessary medical services, regardless of their financial situation.
The determination of sliding fees is guided by the federal poverty guidelines, which are reviewed and updated annually to maintain fairness and accuracy in the assessment process.
By embracing this policy, UWSMA strives to create a more equitable healthcare environment for everyone.
