Obtaining Health Coverage
If you are not currently covered by an insurance plan, you may still schedule an appointment with one of our physicians. At the time of your appointment, a financial counselor will meet with you and determine your eligibility for various insurance and payment options. A variety of options are available depending on your age, immigration status, and income. Everyone, regardless of ability to pay, can obtain financial assistance to see a provider at one of our facilities.
