Bayou Dental Health is dedicated to providing quality dental services and oral health promotion to all patients regardless of language or financial barriers.Purpose/Policy Statement
If you are uninsured and have a low income, you may qualify for a sliding fee for your dental services. This program is made available by Bayou Dental Health to provide dental care for people who otherwise may be unable to see a dentist. We do not receive any government subsidy to fund this program, therefore we may not be able to offer a discount to everyone, and we reserve the right to discontinue the program at any time. You are expected to pay the discounted rate or minimum fee for services. If you cannot pay at the time of service, please make arrangements for payments. The discount applies to services provided by our dentists.
Eligibility Criteria
If your family has a total household income less than 200% of the federal poverty level you may qualify for a discount from our original fees. Income means your paycheck before deductions, pension, retirement, or social security income, cash child support, alimony, workers compensation payments, etc. from all sources in the family. All office visits are eligible for a sliding fee; this does not apply to dentures for these services have been set at a reasonable fixed price.
Criteria considered in determining eligibility for a sliding fee include, but are not limited to:
• The household’s gross income, based on total family members.
• The patient’s employment status and capacity for future earnings.
• Other living expenses & financial obligations.
Supporting documentation may include the following:
• One-month income verification (prior month of date applying) in the form of pay stubs, bank deposits, etc.
