Important Information Regarding the Washington Area Clinical Center Sliding Fee Program:
Washington Area Clinical Center (WACC) is committed to providing affordable mental health care services. Our Sliding Fee Program offers reduced rates based on your household income and size.
To ensure a fair and sustainable program, we require accurate information from all applicants.
Here's what you need to know:
Application Disclosure: The information you provide on your application, including family size (as reported on an IRS tax return) and gross annual income from all sources (wages, Social Security, SSI, unemployment, etc.), must be true and complete to the best of your knowledge.
Verification: WACC may request additional documentation to verify your eligibility.
Reporting Changes: It's your responsibility to promptly notify us of any changes to your insurance, household income, or family size.
Maintaining Program Integrity: We rely on the information you provide to determine your sliding fee discount. If there's reason to suspect inaccurate or incomplete information, or a lack of reported changes, WACC may review your financial status.
Consequences of Misrepresentation: If false information is discovered, you may be responsible for reimbursing any discounts received and potentially lose eligibility for the program.
We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the Sliding Fee Program remains accessible to those who need it most.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office.
