This means that you can get your prescriptions filled at most local pharmacies and save money. Patients may also use the Access Health Louisiana Pharmacy which offers free home delivery of medications.
We accept most commercial insurances, Medicaid and Medicare. If you are uninsured, you won’t be turned away for service. You can still see a provider by utilizing our sliding fee scale. This means that the cost of your visit will be based on your household size and income. For some patients, this means seeing a doctor for as little as fifteen dollars. Patients can also apply for Medicaid applications at the clinic during regular business hours.
