A provider that has a sliding scale offers a flexible fee system that varies with income. The lower your income, the lower the fee you have to pay for your session. The amount you pay should not be reflected on the quality of care you receive and the time you have with the provider. Most of the time, providers don’t even know how much you pay because their office personnel handles it separately.
