42 San Antonio Clinics That Provide Medical Treatment To The Uninsured

san antonio clinics

In this article I will provide you with a list of low cost San Antonio clinics that treat the uninsured.

Contrary to what many believe you can receive medical care even if you are uninsured or have limited income. 

Before providing you with that listing lets discuss a term called FQHC to give you a better idea about how these San Antonio clinics work. 

What Are San Antonio FQHCs and How Do They Work? 

First off FQHC stands for Federally Qualified Health Centers. The purpose of an FQHC is to provide health care services to underserved areas in the community.  To receive treatment at a FQHC you do not need to be working or have health insurance. Because of this, FQHCs are ideal for anyone who is uninsured in San Antonio and needs medical care

Are FQHC Clinics Free? 

Many people refer to FQHCs as the “free clinics in San Antonio” however that is not entirely accurate. 

While you do not need a job or insurance, these clinics are not necessarily free. These low cost San Antonio clinics operate on what is called a “sliding scale”. This simply means they will bill you according to your ability to pay. The lower your income is, the lower the scale will slide in regards to what your medical bill.

The bottom line is if you are uninsured in San Antonio, underinsured, or recently lost your job these are all good options for treatment. 

What Services Are Provided At San Antonio FQHCs?

You can find the following resources at the San Antonio clinics listed in this article: 

Note: FQHC clinics are fully capable of providing preventive and routine care, however, most are not equipped to perform any complicated medical procedures. A better option for something like a surgery would be applying for San Antonio’s Carelink insurance plan
