County health clinics provide free or reduced-cost medical care, including physicals, physician care, medical tests, and immunizations.
Who is eligible?
County health clinics provide health care services to all persons within their service areas. However, most people who use clinics do not have a private physician.
What do the services cost?
County health clinics do not charge for services for individuals with household incomes below the federal poverty level, or who otherwise are unable to pay. Persons with household incomes between 100 percent and 200 percent of the poverty level pay based on a sliding scale. Clinics do not charge for childhood immunization and do not charge WIC or Medicaid recipients. Clinics do not deny services for tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS, family planning and pregnancy tests for failure to pay a fee. Prescription drugs may be available at some clinics.
How do I apply?
You may apply for health care services from a county health clinic by scheduling an appointment at the clinic. Information about county health clinics and other similar health care services within the county may be obtained from your county public health unit.
