Insurance

Agape is not a “free” health center. However, we do offer programs that allow services to be rendered at reduced costs should a person qualify. Please read on for more.

We accept commercial insurances (such as BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare as well as others), Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organization (PPOs) as well as Medicare and Medicaid.

Yes! We can assist in applying for Medicaid benefits as well as coverages such as the Affordable Care Act. We ask that you bring in proof of identification, proof of income, and information on your family size.

We ask that you bring in proof of identification and your insurance card. If you do not have your insurance card, please bring in your social security card along with your proof of identification so that we may look you up.

Agape Health Services is proud to be a Federally Qualified Health Center! This means we offer a Sliding Fee Scale Program that reduces fees on services for qualified patients.

AHS offers a program that reduces fees charged to uninsured patients based on their income and family size. We base patient eligibility for this program on percentages of “Poverty Levels” determined annually by the federal government. Fees are determined either by a minimum fee or a percentage of the full charges. Insured patients may benefit from this plan as non-covered services may also be subject to a fee reduction.

Like every program, AHS has requirements. We acquire specific information from our patients prior to determining eligibility and establishing a sliding fee level based on the Federal Poverty Guideline Determinations are not made until the required documentation has been provided.
