HealthLinc provides services regardless of your ability to pay. On your first visit, you will meet with our Intake Coordinator who will review your financial situation with you. If you are enrolled in a government program such as Medicaid or Medicare, we will bill them for services we provide. We also accept some private insurance coverage. While we do not want financial constraints to prevent you from seeking the care that you need, we do ask that you pay something towards the cost of your care if you are able to do so. We will work with you to determine your share of the cost based on a sliding fee scale. We will also help you apply for support programs that may be helpful to you.
To determine your eligibility for support programs and sliding fee scales, we need information from you. When you come for your intake appointment, please bring the following information.
