Preparing for Your VisitThe information below will help you prepare for your health center visit. Of course, it's always best to check in with your local health center regarding their policies and procedures.
It's good practice to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Are you uninsured? Most community health centers across Florida have Certified Application Counselors on-site who can assist you in applying for health insurance coverage. Every facility charges patients using a sliding fee scale based on family size and family income. Be sure to bring proof of income (a recent check stub or letter from your employer) in order to apply your visit under the sliding fee scale. Remember: Be sure to keep all scheduled appointments with your provider and other specialists. It's also important to give an update of any changes in your health during each visit. Community health centers urge patients to take an active role in their health and wellness - follow your doctor's directions and ask questions! ResourcesGood health is for you too!
