Paying for your care 

We accept a wide variety of private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and Children’s Health Plan (CHP+) plans.  There are insurances that we do not contract with, which can result in you being responsible for full payment at the time of service. In these instances, we will collect the charge from you at the time of service. Please contact your insurance provider for more information.

We accept Medicaid and various private insurances and have the Sliding Fee Discount Program available for eligible patients. Please contact the clinic front desk for more information.

Knowing your benefits is an important part of being a consumer of healthcare. Calling your insurance company before your appointment will help you know what to expect financially. The number to call can be found on your insurance card. Asking your insurance a few key questions goes a long way to making sure you know your financial obligations:

• Is Axis “in network” with your insurance plan?
• Is a prior authorization needed before your appointment?
• What services are covered, and are there any exclusions you need to be aware of?
• Does your deductible apply?

A: Yes. Axis Health System Billing accepts self-pay patients at all of our clinic locations. We offer a sliding fee discount program for uninsured and underinsured patients, based on family size and income (per the current Federal Poverty Guidelines). If you have questions about the sliding fee discount program, please call to learn more about your options, call 970.335.2342.
