Information for Patients
The information below will help you prepare for and make the most out of your appointment.
Please arrive early to have time to complete any paperwork, and remember to bring the following items to every appointment:
- Insurance cards
- Current medications and supplements
- List of questions for your doctor
- Proof of income (if applying for our sliding fee benefit)
- Sliding fee benefit application
- Cash, check, credit or debit cards to pay for co-pays or nominal fees - there is a 2.5% convenience fee for credit or debit card use, with a $2 minimum
- For some grant-funded services, donations may be requested at the time of service to help offset the cost of care.
Sliding Fee Discount Program
We operate under a sliding fee discount program. This program ensures that patients pay for services based on their income and family size, and no one denied care due to inability to pay.
Our Fees
Fees for our services are listed on the charts below. Review the sliding fee scale document to see how fees may be adjusted based on income for patients who qualify.

We know your privacy is important to you. We follow all HIPAA rules and comply with privacy standards to protect patients’ medical records and other health information.
When a patient misses a scheduled appointment, it prevents us from using that time to care for other patients. Keeping your scheduled appointments is important to make sure you are getting the care you need. Any time you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact our office as soon as possible prior to your scheduled appointment. This gives us time to schedule other patients who may be waiting for an appointment.
If a patient is unable to attend an appointment, the patient must cancel the appointment at least 24-hours before the scheduled appointment time to allow for the health center to schedule another patient.
To cancel an appointment, the patient must call 419-354-9049 and leave their name, date of birth, and the appointment date and time. Or, they may send a message through the patient portal.
If a patient arrives more than 10-minutes after their scheduled appointment time, they are not guaranteed to be seen at that time. The patient could be asked to reschedule their appointment to prevent delays or inconveniences for other patients.
Not showing up for an appointment, canceling less than 24-hours in advance, or showing up more than 10-minutes late to an appointment is considered a no-show.
After 2 no-show appointments within a consecutive 6-month period, patients will be placed on a same-day scheduling basis for a consecutive 6-month period.
Parents/guardians of minors are responsible for the minor’s appointments and the same process will be used for a minor’s no-show appointment.
Understanding that situations may arise preventing a patient from arriving at their scheduled appointment time, Health Center Leadership will review patient appeals on a case-by-case basis to determine if a missed appointment counts towards a patient being placed on same-day scheduling.
Please make sure we have your current phone number to receive appointment reminders.
