We also accept Medicare and Medicaid.
CommWell Health offers Discounts based on Family Size and Income
What is the EagleCare Program?
CommWell Health discounts its services for anyone who qualifies based on income and family size. Typically the discount program benefits individuals who are uninsured, have high deductibles or have low income. This program provides a discount off of the health center’s normal charges and applies to all, of the health center’s services. If you think you may qualify, please review the following pages carefully as it provides all the information you need to get started.

How does the Eagle Care Program work?
We review your current income and family size to see if you qualify for the program.
What are the payment requirements?
We require your insurance co-payment at the time of visit. There are nominal fees required with the Eagle Care program regardless of the discount level. These payments are required at the time of registration for each visit. We accept cash, check, all major credit cards and debit cards.
Is CommWell Health a free clinic?
No, we are not a free clinic. There is a nominal fee for the health care services that we provide. However, because we are a Federally Qualified Health Center, we are able to offer reduced rates to people who qualify and no one will be turned away based solely on their ability to pay.
If you have any questions about insurances billed, charges, and billing questions please call 1-877-WELL ALL (1-877-935-5255).
