Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Salud Medical Center website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care.

*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free services from some clinics, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income.When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.

Left me sitting in the lobby with extreme pain from abscessed tooth, while every other appearing person was seen first. Other than myself, there was another lady....she was also cast aside. We were told to come back another day, after sitting in that lobby all day long, because they ran out of time. Odd, considering we arrived an hour prior to opening. We were trampled by others wanting to sign in first, but sill managed to be approximately the 7th or 8th to sign in. Many, many, others signing in after us were seen. When I returned the next morning they were open, I still waited all day after arriving 1 hour early. They finally let me in just prior to closing (because no one else was left), only to tell me that they couldn't help me. I found a friend who loaned me over a thousand dollars to pay for treatment elsewhere. She felt bad for me. Needless to say, paying that kind of money back when you are already below poverty level income, is immensely difficult. I'm lucky the abscess didn't kill me.
