What should I bring to my appointment?

If you are a new patient, please plan to arrive 30 minutes in advance of your appointment to fill out necessary paperwork. All other patients are asked to please arrive 15 minutes early.
Which insurance plans and forms of payment do you accept?
The Family Health Centers at ºÙºÙÊÓƵ provide financial assistance to patients who cannot pay for their medical care. We have an established sliding scale discount program that assures that patients have access to all the services we offer (health center’s scope of service), regardless of their ability to pay.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and other major insurances. Patients without insurance or whose insurance is limited can apply for the sliding scale fee program. Please note that applying for and/or being turned down for insurance is not a prerequisite for a sliding scale fee or other discount. Please let a Family Health Center staff member know if you have any questions or wish to apply for the sliding scale discount program. We are here to assist you.
Please bring proof of income and family size, and one of our appointment coordinators can review your payment options and the programs you may qualify for.
Co-pays and other charges may be paid with cash, personal check, money orders, or major credit cards. If you have a billing question, please call 877-648-2964.
