Our Patient Support Center is always ready to lend a helping hand. Walk-in hours are available at our Riverside and Essex practices. Here are some of the services we provide:
Sliding-Fee Scale Financial Assistance Program
CHC offers a Sliding-Fee Scale to help income-eligible patients pay for their care. If you are low-income, don’t have health/dental insurance or have high deductibles, this program can help. For patients enrolled in Medicare, the Sliding-Fee Scale can be applied to Medicare co-insurance. To enroll, bring in one form of government issued identification and two forms of proof of income; pay stubs or your latest tax return. Patient Support staff will guide you through the application or fill it out and mail it. The application is available in seven additional languages, which can be found here. For questions regarding eligibility for our Financial Assistance Programs, please contact Patient Support Services at (802) 264-8124 or patientsupport@chcb.org.

We’re here to help patients with insurance forms, navigate the website and connect you to benefits. For Medicare enrollment, we refer to AgeWell’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program. Other services our Patient Support Services team can help connect you to include: You First, 3SquaresVT, Health Assistance Program (HAP), eyeglasses assistance, patient financial assistance through UVM and more.
