Kern Valley Healthcare District (KVHD) offers our uninsured patients a Sliding Fee Scale Program upon qualification.  The application process is simple.  A Financial Statement must be filled out showing the monthly income of all members of the patient's household, along with other relevant financial information.  Documentation that supports the Financial Statement must also be provided.  Click here for a list of the most common documents that can be used to determine eligibility. 

A grid is used to determine the level under which a patient may qualify for a discount.  Once the level is established, it remains in effect for a maximum of one year or earlier, at the discretion of KVHD.  Of course, any changes in a patient’s financial information should be reported to KVHD immediately so the level can be re-evaluated.

If you believe you may qualify for consideration under this program, please complete our Financial Statement and return it along with your supporting documentation by bringing it to our facility or by mailing it to:  P.O. Box 1628, Lake Isabella, CA 93240   ATTN:  Business Office

You will be notified in writing of our decision as soon as possible after we have reviewed your Financial Statement and substantiating documentation.  Prompt payment for the services you receive, whether or not they qualify for a reduction under our Sliding Scale Program, will still be expected.
