Our clinic in colorad is mostly public funded, such as a community health center. We will put our clients with no insurance on a sliding fee scale which equals about 3.85 a session. If meds are needed, drug companies have patient assistance programs that will supply meds free of charge. All you would need to be on a sliding fee scale would be a couple of Pay stubs.
