How to Ask Cross City Medical Center for Sliding-Fee Help
Apply for an income-based discount before assuming the full clinic charge or deductible is the only amount available.
Start here
Call North Florida Medical Centers’ Cross City location at 352-498-3349 and ask for the current Sliding Fee Discount Program packet. The discount is based on household income and family size, requires supporting documents, and may help eligible insured or uninsured patients with covered clinic services. Hospital or independent-provider bills require separate financial-assistance requests.
