If you have health insurance, the Health Department will bill your insurance. You will not be charged a copay. If you are 19 years of age or older, and you do not have health insurance or do not want your insurance billed, the Health Department will ask for a sliding scale fee based on family size and annual income.

Clinic staff will not ask for proof of family size and income, and services will be provided regardless of ability to pay.

Parents and Children

Children between 4 and 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Children who are 16 or 17 years must have a signed consent from a parent or guardian or be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
