Uninsured
At Community Healthcare Center, we understand not everyone can afford medical and dental insurance. At Community Healthcare Center we have other avenues that may help cover costs with medical and dental care.
We have programs such as:
A sliding fee discount is available for all qualified clients with or without insurance. Our sliding fee discount is based on family size and income.
Proof of income must be provided to qualify for the sliding fee discount.
No one is denied services due to an inability to pay. Please ask our staff if you need assistance or have any questions.
Service co-pays required at the time of service. See the receptionist at the time of service for the amount due.
