For patients with a plan that needs a primary care provider (PCP) to be listed, either Legacy or a Legacy provider must be your PCP with your plan.
To apply for financial help, you will need to meet with one of our staff to determine your eligibility, and supply proof of your identity, income, and other information. Ask for more information at our front desk or call 832-548-5223, and we will be happy to help you.
Eligibility
Accessing health care can be frustrating, confusing, and even intimidating, especially if its been a while since youve seen a doctor. One way Legacy Community Health Services removes barriers to care is by employing Eligibility Specialists to help potential patients navigate the complex health care landscape. These staff members are available to anyone who walks through our doors and, with a little information from you, can find the right combination of grants, government assistance, and sliding fee scale to make your health care more affordable than ever.
Since this is a sliding fee scale clinic, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Baytown Legacy Clinic 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%.
