The program team will need to complete a careful analysis of costs and develop a fair and reliable fee structure (Braveman, 2016). Another consideration is how to address the differing abilities of program participants to pay for services. In this case, a sliding scale fee may be an appropriate method for addressing the socioeconomic needs across program participants. A sliding scale fee identifies a program payment based on a participant's income. When implementing a sliding scale fee, records of participants' incomes must be maintained, which requires additional record-keeping and bookkeeping for the program, as well as processes to ensure confidentiality.
