Best for

Anyone who needs primary care and cannot pay full price, insured or not.

Why Kave includes this

Federally qualified health centers are the single most reliable answer to 'I need a doctor and cannot afford one.' They are required to see you regardless of ability to pay, they cannot turn you away for being uninsured, and there are more than 15,000 sites. Kave leads with this because it is the option that most consistently exists near a given person.

Expected cost
Fees are set on a sliding scale by household size and income. Many centers have a minimum nominal fee of roughly $20–$40 for the lowest income tier.
Insurance requirement
No insurance required. Centers also bill Medicaid, Medicare, and most commercial plans.
Who qualifies
Open to everyone. Sliding-scale discounts require proof of household income; ask the center which documents it accepts.
Where it is available
Nationwide (United States)
How you use it
In person and Online or by phone
Languages
English and Spanish
