A sliding fee scale is a cost that can be changed or adjusted based on certain factors. At Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center, the sliding fee scale adjusts the cost of services based on:
Household income
Size of immediate family in household including spouses, domestic partners, children, parents of children living in household together; children 19 years or older on their own if they are not a full time student.
Grandparents and mother- or father-in-laws living in the same home need to apply and be processed separately from the above household members.
