Payment: We believe that quality health care should be available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We accept Provider One and most types of insurance. Payment for services or proof of insurance is expected at time of service. This includes co-pays. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
We ask all uninsured patients to meet with an Eligibility Specialist to determine if they are eligible for public insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder or a sliding fee discount from Neighborcare Health.
The sliding fee discount is available for low-income patients who are not eligible for public insurance. To qualify, a patient must meet with an Eligibility Specialist at one of our clinics. Once a patient qualifies for a sliding fee discount, the minimum fee for a medical appointment is $20. The minimum fee for a dental appointment is $45. We offer an additional $5 discount if the fee is paid at the time of your appointment.
If you are uninsured and choose not to apply for public insurance or the sliding fee discount, we ask you to pay a deposit to defray the initial cost of your care. The medical ($80) and dental ($90) deposit will be discounted to $75 and $85, if paid at the time of service.
Neighborcare Health patients are billed directly by LabCorp for any lab tests and services, and are responsible for paying LabCorp directly. Neighborcare Health informs LabCorp directly if a patient is eligible for the sliding fee discount.

*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%.
