Fees And Payment Policies

FRTH Fiscal policy requires that the fee schedule and sliding fee scale are reviewed annually to ensure that they are accurate and appropriate. All fees for agency services are due and payable at the time of service, including share of cost and co-pays. Agency services to verified Native Americans are to be provided free of charge.

The agency will bill all verified third party insurance coverage. Patients with insurance, Medi-Cal, or Medicare will not be billed for the portion covered by these insurances until insurance payment is received and found to be deficient.

FRTH accepts ATM, Visa, and MasterCard. This service is available in Medical, Dental, BHS, as well as Fiscal/Patient Services.

The patient is responsible for their share of cost portion or co-payment at the time of service. The patient is also responsible for any charges not paid by their insurance. Please be aware that fees paid by the patient at the time of service may not include all billable items. The patient will be responsible for the difference.
