How to Become a Patient:

We require that all of our patients satisfy the requirements for financial eligibility before receiving a medical appointment.  Eligibility screenings are held Tuesday and Thursday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Wednesday between 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
For your convenience, we make appointments for eligibility screenings.  This process applies to first-time applicants and current patients who need to renew their eligibility status.
To schedule an appointment, please call us at 704-316-6611.

*If you are unable to provide proof of residency or income, you must complete the applicable form(s) below and bring them to your eligibility screening appointment.

 

Forms for Screening:

•   Patients that do not have proof of address in their name must complete the documentation of address        form and provide the necessary documents.

A small donation is requested for each medical appointment, lab appointment, eligibility screening, and eligibility renewal to help cover the cost of operating the clinic. The amount will be determined by the patient’s income as reported during the eligibility screening.
