How community health centers work
Community health centers receive federal funding to serve everyone, including people without insurance. Uninsured patients pay on a sliding scale based on household income and size, and most centers accept Medicaid and CHIP. They cannot turn you away because you are unable to pay. Ask what to bring to qualify for the discount, usually photo ID and proof of income.
