Free/Low Cost/Sliding Scale Clinics Information (United States)

If you need free or low-cost healthcare in the U.S., these are the best places to start:

1. HRSA Community Health Centers (Federally Qualified Health Centers)
   These clinics provide:

   • Primary care
   • Women's health
   • Children's care
   • Mental health services
   • Dental care (many locations)
   • Prescription assistance
     They treat patients with or without insurance, and fees are based on your income using a sliding scale.

2. Free & Charitable Clinics Many nonprofit clinics provide free medical care, medications, and sometimes dental or vision care to uninsured patients who meet income guidelines.

3. Hill-Burton Hospitals Some hospitals are required to provide free or reduced-cost care to eligible low-income patients through the Hill-Burton program. Eligibility depends on household income.

4. Hospital Financial Assistance (Charity Care) Many nonprofit hospitals offer financial assistance programs that can reduce or eliminate medical bills for eligible patients.
