Pay Less for Doctor Visits in Iowa

Low-cost or free healthcare is available all over Iowa, if you know where to find it. Most people have never heard about the federally qualified health centers in Iowa, but they can be a financial game changer if you qualify for the special sliding fee scale offered by the providers and facilities that operate under the FQHC umbrella in Iowa.

Find A Low-Cost Doctor in Iowa Today

No insurance? Want to pay cash – or simply pay less – for a visit to the doctor?

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Iowa provide low-cost, and for some people even free, health care to underserved communities in Iowa. For the same quality of health care offered by other doctors, dentists, mental health care professionals, and even specialists, people who qualify for the sliding fee scale at an FQHC can save on health care needs offered by the provider or care center. Qualifying for the special sliding fee scale, which is supplemented by the federal government, is as easy as providing proof of identity and minimal additional information such as household income and the number of family members residing in your home.

Find an FQHC Near You

The list below represents providers and facilities that are either FQHCs or FQHC look-a-like locations throughout the state. Find a low-cost doctor near you and then inquire about the sliding fee scale.
