Collections and Billing

The Bay County Health Department offers a range of clinical services. The fees associated with our clinic services can be reduced based on a sliding fee scale.  A financial interview must be conducted prior to receiving the clinic service.  This interview is confidential and conducted in a private setting.  The sliding fee scale is based on documented household income and number of dependents residing in the household.  For a complete listing of our clinic services and fees please see our clinical services report.
