This two-part training will support community health center compliance with Form 5A Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP). Session one is a technical training on SFPD requirements and what flexibility the community health center has in designing their program. Part two is a hands-on session on how to implement and monitor your HRSA compliant SFDP, while preparing for Operational Site Visits (OSV). Attendees are asked to bring their SFDP policy and related forms for this portion.

As a result of this training, attendees will:

• Identify which requirements are defined by HRSA, and those by the community health center.
• Learn key elements that must be included in your SFDP and its link to Form 5A.
• Evaluate your SFDP policy and scale and related forms for each requirement.
• Understand how and with whom to waive charges.
