For many who may need to utilize the CSC there is no payer source. Clients who have Medicaid will be fully covered. Clients with commercial insurance may have a copay/deductible and the insurance may not cover all services provided. Clients with no insurance will most likely be charged on a sliding scale based on income. Any expenses incurred that a client or 3rd party payer doesn’t cover is written off by Pawnee. To ensure the viability of this facility it is important that we find ways to reduce expenses while not reducing the care that is provided to our clients.
