Uninsured Patient Care Program Increased Access
Our Uninsured Patient Care Program began in 2016 responding to the growing number of uninsured residents visiting our clinic. BANJ serves as a medical home to more than 2,000 low income, minority, uninsured and homeless patients. We utilize a sliding fee schedule based upon current federal poverty level guidelines. The average fee for a clinic visit is $24.00. No patient is denied medical care based upon their income or ability to pay. We also provide basic lab and x-ray services for the uninsured at no additional cost for those unable to pay.
