Description
Blackstone Valley Community health Care (BVCHC) has established a program that reduces fees charged to patients based on their income and family size.

Patients between 101% and 200% will pay an amount depending on their family size and percentage of poverty. Every program has requirements and BVCHCâs Sliding Fee Program is no different.
