Free and low-cost health care in Utah.
Finding affordable or maybe even free medical care in Utah involves navigating a mix of private non-profits, federal health centers, and state-run clinics. There are options such as Federally Qualified Health Centers throughout the state while Utah’s rural counties rely heavily on specialized networks like the Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH) and the Utah Navajo Health System. Learn more about sliding-fee community clinics and health care centers in Utah, as well as their contact information.
It is important to always keep in mind that most community clinics in Utah utilize a Sliding Fee Scale (SFS). This means your cost is determined by your Federal Poverty Level (FPL) percentage which factors in the number of people in the household as well as income. However, in Utah, many clinics require proof of residency or a "Letter of Support" if you are currently staying with family, however if you lack health insurance many centers will try to provide some form of help.
