notes: Q: I am a Veteran. Can I sign up for Mountain Health & Community Services? A: You don't need to "sign up" to receive services at Mountain Health. You will need to fill out some paperwork so we can get you started and have your medical information for future visits. Our front office staff is versed in how to help you get the best service and care. MHCS has programs available, we take over 200 insurance plans and we also have a sliding fee scale by which your income level is considered and you are charged accordingly for your visits. Veterans receive great care from the Veteran's hospital where their services are covered under their Veteran status. If you don't live near a Veteran's Hospital and would like to see a Mountain Health provider for your routine examinations, our front office staff can help you decide which programs are best suited to your needs. Q: I'm a single mom without insurance. Can my children be seen at a Mountain Health Center? A: Yes. You and your children can be seen. There are many programs offered to help you with child immunizations, regular health check-ups, school and sports physicals and health education for yourself and your child. Just ask a front office receptionist to help you find the program that will work best for you. Q: Do you provide free immunizations or other free services? A: Mountain Health offers a number of free and low cost programs for your medical needs. We do not refuse immunizations to anyone, even if you don't qualify for one of our programs or have no way to pay. When you visit our clinics, you will always receive health education from our providers or medical staff. Please feel free to speak with our receptionist about your payment options. She will be happy to assist you. Q: I currently go to another provider. What do I have to do to change to a Mountain Health Provider? A: To begin, if you have insurance you will need to call your insurance company and see if our provider is available on your insurance plan. We accept over 200 insurance plans, so usually this is not a problem. There is a period of a few days before the transaction is completed. You may then call and make an appointment at any of our health center locations. When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked to fill out our patient registration forms and a release form which we will send to your former provider's office in order to obtain your medical records. If you don't have insurance we have a number of programs that you may qualify to be seen under, or you may qualify for our sliding fee scale which is based upon your ability to pay.
