You will be asked to provide documentation in order to determine your eligibility. The more information provided at the time of your eligibility, the easier it is for us to assist you.
We do not schedule eligibility appointments. Please arrive 1 hour prior to your scheduled appointment with the provider to complete the eligibility screening. Our lobby hours are 8 am to 5 pm.

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%.
