OHI is a nonprofit community health center based in Ocean Count, NJ providing preventative and primary healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured residents of the area.
This Health Center is based on Sliding scale fees which are variable prices for products, services, or taxes based on a customer's ability to pay. Such fees are thereby reduced for those who have lower incomes, or alternatively, less money to spare after their personal expenses, regardless of income.
The mission of Ocean Health Initiatives is to empower the medically underserved residents of Ocean County with the tools they need to maintain optimum physical and emotional health, through the provision of quality, accessible and comprehensive primary health care, regardless of economic status or ability to pay.
We strive to promote healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices through ongoing educational outreach. Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.
In recognition of this commitment, we will deliver high quality healthcare in the communities we serve, and deliver these services with compassion, kindness and a respect for human dignity.

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%.
