Patient Fees
The Free Clinic of Central Virginia does not charge patients for medical, dental, pharmacy, or behavioral health services provided. We do, however, request that patients make a small donation between $5 and $10 for some services. Prescriptions are $3 each. No patient will ever be denied service or medications due to an inability to pay.
Service Limitations
Services at the Free Clinic of Central Virginia are primarily provided by volunteer nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and physicians. Therefore, we are unable to provide certain services. These include examinations for disability determination if the patient is not receiving ongoing primary care from the Free Clinic of Central Virginia, obstetrics, routine family planning if the patient is not receiving ongoing primary care from the Free Clinic of Central Virginia, and medications not on our pharmacy formulary.
