No, it’s just not the unemployed! Surprisingly, the majority of those without health insurance are hard-working men and women who either are self-employed, work for a small business or a large corporation that can’t afford to provide health insurance coverage to its employees or the worker cannot afford the high premiums to cover their families. The statistics tell the story of the more than 45 million Americans without health insurance, 80% are from working families, and they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford health insurance for their families. CHI is the only health care organization providing comprehensive primary and behavioral health care services to the uninsured and underinsured population of South Miami-Dade County. CHI is part of a national network of Community Health Centers that provide quality primary health and behavioral health care to residents in their communities.

For those without health insurance, charges are based on your particular financial situation, documentation of family size and income. For those with insurance, patients are required to pay a deductible and/or co-payment. Just as in any doctor’s office.

Proof of identification, address and income for you and your family for sliding fee classification if uninsured. If insured, please bring your insurance card.
