What kind of site is Riverside Specialty?

Is there a sliding fee scale at Riverside Specialty?

Yes. Ask intake for the sliding fee application and bring income documentation for your household. The discount reduces what Riverside Specialty charges for the visit, not what a pharmacy bills Part D for the GLP-1 itself. Call 941-776-4000 if the required documents aren't clear.
