Understand Your Options
What is a free clinic?
A free clinic generally provides eligible patients with some or all services at no charge. Eligibility and available services differ by clinic.
What is a charitable clinic?
A charitable clinic may provide services without charge or may charge a reduced or sliding fee. It may focus on uninsured or medically underserved patients.
What is a community health center?
A community health center provides primary and preventive care and may offer dental, behavioral-health, pharmacy, or other services. Many use sliding-fee discounts based on income and family size.
What does sliding scale mean?
A sliding-fee program reduces charges for eligible patients based on income and family size. It does not necessarily make every service free.
The rising cost of medical bills and prescriptions is putting many Americans in a downward slope of
debt and despair. Individuals who are older or have disabilities and are in need of home medical
equipment are having trouble affording these aids. Insurance will typically help pay for some of
these items but with little or no insurance at all; these assistive technology devices can be
unaffordable. There are resources for those who cannot purchase these items on their own.
During March of 2010, President Obama made history when he signed the Affordable Care Act into law.
What has become commonly known as “Obamacare” was intended to provide people with low incomes with
the same healthcare insurance options that everyone else had available. Those people who relied on
free clinics and county-run hospitals for their basic care would finally have choices in the
healthcare providers and the types of medical treatment they received. No one expected the need for
free health clinics to become even greater once Obamacare was the law of the land.

Clinic staff, patients, social workers, and community organizations can suggest new clinics, report changes, claim listings, and report closed or duplicate locations. All submissions are reviewed before publication.
Free Clinic Directory provides general directory information and does not operate, endorse, or schedule appointments for listed clinics. Hours, services, costs, eligibility requirements, and appointment procedures can change. "Free," "low-cost," and "sliding-scale" are not the same, and some services may have separate costs.
