Our Mission
We will work with the community as peers with open eyes and a responsive attitude to provide the right care, at the right time, at the right place.
CHC Eligibility

The Community Health Centers (CHCs) serve Austin and Travis County. An individual must be a resident of Travis County to be enrolled as a patient.

Services are provided regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. We serve patients who are enrolled in the following health benefits programs: Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and Austin/Travis County Medical Assistance Program (MAP). We also serve patients who do not qualify for any of these programs and pay for services according to a sliding discount, based on their income.

To qualify for dental services, adult patients with Medicaid or Medicare must be a current patient of a primary card provider within the Community Health Center system.

To enroll as a CHC patient, an individual must undergo screening to determine whether he or she is eligible for any of the health benefits programs listed above. This screening is performed at Austin/Travis County Eligibility offices. For information on accessing MAP eligibility screening services and income guidelines, please consult the MAP webpage.
