We accept many different forms of insurance, including all the Medicaid Managed Care plans, Medicare, most HMOs and PPOs. Payment is expected at the time of service, cash, checks, and major credit cards are accepted. Please present your insurance card at each visit.

Greater Elgin Family Care Center, as a Community Health Center grantee, is required to offer a sliding fee discount program to all patients who are under 200% of the Federal Poverty guidelines based on reported income and family size. All patients presenting who are below 100% of the Federal Poverty guidelines based on reported income and family size will receive a full discount. However, nominal fees may be collected from individual or families with an annual income at or below 100% of the Poverty Level.

NEW: Through efforts with our laboratory partners, we are now able to reduce the financial burden of your laboratory testing. Every patient below 100% of the Federal Poverty guidelines now pays ONLY a Nominal Fee of $25.00 each visit - which includes most laboratory testing services - over 37% less than any other FQHC provider!
