Welcome

Hudson Headwaters welcomes all patients regardless of insurance status.  We participate with most major insurers including Medicare and Medicaid. We offer financial and billing assistance through budget agreements, a Sliding Fee discount for medical, dental and other services, and RX Assist for financial assistance with ongoing prescription needs. Hudson Headwaters is a member of the National Health Services Corps and serves all patients.

Billing Services

Hudson Headwaters keeps a record of all financial transactions related to your health care. You are responsible for paying in full for any non-covered services, co-payments or unmet deductibles at the time of your visit. Here’s a link to our list of insurance carriers: Hudson Headwaters Insurance Carriers. Payment in full is also expected at the time of your visit if Hudson Headwaters does not participate with your insurance plan. Our 2024 charge schedules can be found here.

Please be aware that you may receive services at a Hudson Headwaters facility that may be from providers, practices, or others who are not employed by Hudson Headwaters. In these cases, you may receive a separate bill from them for the services they provided to you in our facility. For your convenience, we have listed most of the other providers with contact information, in the event you need to address a billing concern.

For questions about Hudson Headwaters billing, or if you would like to discuss setting up a budget/payment plan, please call our patient support services team at 518-623-2094 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For Dental billing questions please call 518-623-3918 (option 3).

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescriptions drugs, equipment and hospital fees. Click here for the Surprise Billing Protection Form. The purpose of this document is to let you know about your protection from unexpected medical bills. It also asks whether you would like to give up those protections and pay more for out-of-network care.

Sliding Fee Program

Not an insurance plan…no monthly premium!
8 out of 10 people that apply get approved. 

At Hudson Headwaters, we believe that no one should delay seeking needed medical care because they lack insurance or have high medical costs. That’s why we offer discounts and payment plans to eligible patients.

We offer a Sliding Fee program that discounts your cost for medical and dental care at our health centers (including primary and specialty care, many dental services, prescriptions, and x-rays). You may be eligible for the program, based on your household/family size and how much you earn.

How Do I Apply?

  • You are a family of four living together and making a total of up to $62,400 per year – then everyone in the household is eligible (2024).
  • You are a family of six living together and making a total of up to $83,920 per year – then everyone in the household is eligible (2024).
