At Amistad, we accept all types of Medicaid, Medicare, and several private insurance plans.  For those patients without health insurance coverage, we offer a sliding fee scale based on the Federally established guidelines of family size and income to determine the cost of services provided.
 
For patients without health insurance but who may qualify for Medicaid, we have a Medicaid office and worker on-site to assist with the application process.  To apply for Medicaid patients will be asked to provide: proof of income, children's birth certificates and Social Security cards, and proof of residency.
