Summit Community Care Clinic is committed to providing transparent pricing so patients can make informed decisions. Please use the estimated pricing as a guide but understand that costs may vary. Regardless, if you are uninsured or under-insured, you will not be denied care unless you have pending delinquent bills for previous services.
We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the pricing provided on the website. A final bill for services may be different. Summit Community Care Clinic is not liable for cost in service differences.
Payments listed are estimated gross charges – the full price before any insurance or sliding fee scales are applied. Whereas prices are the same for all patients, final charges will vary depending on negotiated health insurance provider costs, individual insurance plans, and patient’s benefit plan.
Care Clinic fees are accrued based on the care you receive. The staff at the Summit Community Care Clinic will do our best to provide you with a cost estimate.
You are required to pay the entire bill at the end of each visit. If needed, we are willing to offer you a payment plan.
During the new patient eligibility process, you may be assigned a Fee Code on the Sliding Fee Scale based on your income and family size, according to a calculation based on current Federal Poverty Guidelines.
The discounted fees cover many services except for certain laboratory services from outside the Care Clinic. Medications are assigned a fee based on cost to the Care Clinic.
