Please note, our current offering of services depend strictly on our provider availability. We ask that you please be understanding when applying for service, as our offerings can change. 

Prepayments

Every service has a required prepayment amount that must be submitted when making an appointment. This fee must be paid before your appointment can be scheduled and can not be paid on the day service is received. The amount of the prepayment is dependent on which services will be provided to the patient. Patients will be informed of the amount of the prepayment required for their service at the time of making an appointment. We accept cash or credit (visa/Master Card/Discover), no checks. Please note: Your prepayment is nonrefundable. If you are late for your appointment or if you no-show your appointment, your prepayment will not be refunded to you and you will have to make another prepayment in order to schedule another appointment.

Insurance

In an effort to better serve our patients and make our services available to more people in our community, the Community Health Center has begun the process of credentialing with many different health insurance providers. This will allow patients who do have health insurance to use that insurance at CHC to be seen. Below you will find a list of accepted insurance plans as well as ones we are working on. If you do not see your own insurance plan below, please check back regularly to see if it has been added. Please note that patients can always be seen on a self-pay basis.

Current Insurance Plans Accepted by CHC:

• Medicare - Part B

Insurance We Plan on Accepting Soon:

• Medicaid - GA
• Other Private Insurances

Please check back consistently to see an updated list of accepted Insurance Plans.

Medicare - Part B

In January of 2012, the Community Health Center began to take Medicare Part B insurance as a form of payment for medical services rendered at the Center. Now, Medicare beneficiaries with Part B insurance will be able to see a health care provider at CHC and use their Medicare benefits to pay for the services. All co-pays and deductibles mandated by Medicare will be collected but there are also services that Medicare provides to its beneficiaries free of charge such as the "Welcome to Medicare" preventive services visit that seniors who have Medicare can receive free of charge during their first 12 months after enrollment at age 65 or the "Annual Wellness Visit", which is also a preventative health visit that Medicare Part B beneficiaries are entitled to free of charge every 12 months.

For indepth information on Medicare, its programs, costs, and requirements, visit our Medicare Information Center. We have spent hours, combing through Medicare handbooks and claims to find answers to your questions. Check it out and save yourself time, energy, and money.

Please check back here on our website for new developments. If you are a Medicare Part B beneficiary and are interested in the Welcome to Medicare or Annual Wellness Visits, please request your medical appointment online, give us a call at 678-398-6548 or email us at info@chcaustell.org.
