Free and income-based healthcare clinics in Maryland.
Finding affordable medical care that is accessible shouldn't be a barrier to your health. Maryland has an extensive network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and community-based charitable clinics dedicated to serving the low-income, uninsured and underinsured. These Maryland health care centers listed below try to provide high-quality care regardless of your ability to pay.
How these health care centers generally work
Since the programs offered by this sliding-fee health care centers are typically based on an ability-to-pay model, individuals with limited financial resources may qualify for significantly reduced or free care. Most centers listed below operate on a sliding fee scale, meaning your costs are based on your household size and income. For those with no income or insurance, many services are provided at zero cost.
Standard medical services will generally include some of the following, but each clinic offers its own form of care based on resources, funding levels, and staffing among other factors. Each center also has various eligibility rules from patients.
- Primary Care: Physical exams, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension), and sick visits.
- Preventive Services: Childhood immunizations, flu shots, and cancer screenings.
- Behavioral Health: Mental health counseling and substance use disorder (SUD) support.
- Specialty Care: Many locations aim to now offer integrated dental, vision, and telehealth services, though of course that also varies by location.
Other possible factors to know before before contacting a center include the following.
- Eligibility: While these clinics try to be open to all, you may be asked to provide proof of residency or income (such as a pay stub or tax return) to qualify for the deepest discounts or some form of medical care that has no-cost.
- Staffing: These facilities are generally staffed by a wide range of individuals, ranging from volunteer doctors or therapists to licensed Missouri medical professionals, often supported by specialized volunteers
- Referrals: If a specific clinic cannot meet your needs, their social workers or staff can typically provide referrals to Missouri’s statewide specialty networks.
- Tip: We recommend calling ahead to confirm current hours and "sliding fee" application requirements, as staffing and funding can vary by region.
