Is VCC free or is it a walk-in clinic?
A: We operate like any other medical or dental medical group, and ask that patients make appointments and pay utilizing insurance or a sliding fee scale. As such, we are not an emergency room, walk-in or free clinic. We are, however, a non-profit organization that's committed to taking care of our community's medical and dental needs.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Vista Community Clinic - North River website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.
Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2023
| Persons In Family Household | Poverty Guideline Salary per year |
|---|
| 1 | $14,580 |

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
