Slide Program
You don’t need health insurance to get affordable care at Jordan Valley. Our sliding fee program helps you access the care you need whether or not you have health coverage. If you qualify for the Slide Program, we will provide discounted rates for certain services at Jordan Valley.
How Does the Slide Program Work?
The Slide Program offers discounts on healthcare costs based on your income and household size.
Here’s how it works:
Discounted Co-Pay at Each Visit
- Instead of paying the full cost, you pay a reduced fee (like a co-pay) at the time of your appointment.
- The exact amount depends on your household income and the number of people in your home.
- Jordan Valley uses the federal poverty guidelines to calculate your discount level.
Not All Services Are Covered
- Some tests, procedures, or specialty services may not be included in the Slide Program.
- Before any service is provided, Jordan Valley will give you a cost estimate, so you can decide and plan accordingly.
Renewal Required
- Your enrollment in the Slide Program is valid up through 30days – 14 months depending on application date. Your renewal date will be given at the time of enrollment.
The Slide Program helps make healthcare more affordable—but be sure to ask questions if you’re unsure what’s covered or what you’ll owe.

Sources of Income
What is a source of income? A source of income is any form of money received by you or any member of your household, whether it’s from a job, a benefit program, or another person. Below are examples of income sources that count toward your household income:
- Pension or other retirement payments
- Veteran’s benefit payments
- Survivor’s benefit payments
- Money from need-based employment programs
- Money earned from self-employment activities (e.g. Uber)
- Gifts or money from others outside your household
- Wages, salaries and/or tips
- Any other source of money you or another household member gets
- Unemployment payments
- Workman’s Compensation payments
- Federal or State benefits (e.g. TANF)
- Child support payments
- Social security income (SSI)
- Other social security payments like SSDI, DWB or CDB
Even if the income is non-taxable or irregular, it still counts and must be reported if it contributes to your household finances. Always include all sources when asked to verify income.
Providing Proof of Income
How do you provide proof of income? Bring printed documents that clearly show how much income each member of your household receives. Bank statements are not accepted.
Instead, use one or more of the following acceptable documents:
Accepted Documents
- Two most recent paycheck stubs from every job
- Employer statement of earnings
- Federal or state letters that show benefit amounts
- Statement of benefits
- Other printed documents that show amount of income source
Not Accepted
- Bank statements
- Verbal statements
- Handwritten, unsigned documents
- Screenshots or digital-only files unless printed
Make sure all documents are recent and clearly show the source and amount of income. If you’re unsure whether a document qualifies, it’s best to bring multiple forms or check with the office in advance.
