Q: What time is the drop-in clinic? A: We open the doors at 8:00 am. At that time, patients are screened by our back office staff based on the patients medical condition. There is no longer any benefit to showing up before 8:00am. Q: How much does it cost? A: We have a sliding scale fee ranging from $25-$85 for new visits at the morning drop-in clinic. The sliding scale is based upon federal poverty guidelines. Q: Can I get help with Pharmacy Assistance Program applications? A: If you are a patient of White Bird Medical Clinic and the medication is prescribed by our doctor, we can help you with your application for low or no-cost medication through our Pharmacy Assistance Program (PAP). Our PAP Specialist will help you apply to the pharmaceutical company programs available for your medications. Note: receiving medication through these programs usually takes 4-6 weeks and is not guaranteed. Q: Can you help me pay medical bills or fill prescriptions from other doctors? A: No, sorry. Q: Do you have eye doctors? A: No, but White Bird Info Line can give you information about eligibility and application requirements for vouchers to be used at various optometrists in the area. Q: Do you have a translator? A: We usually have a person available who speaks some Spanish. Translation can often be arranged with some advanced notice. Q: Can I make an appointment? A: Yes, appointments are available on Tuesday Friday afternoons, but please be aware that appointments are at a set rate and the sliding scale does not apply. Q: Do you provide physicals? A: We can do physicals for school, work, DOT, and INS. Because physicals are "wellness" visits, there are no grants available to defer costs. Physicals cannot be done at our morning drop-in clinics. Check with the Medical Program Receptionist for the cost of various physicals.
