Commonwealth Health Corporation, including the Free Clinic, is a tobacco-free campus.

The Dental Clinic

Dental services were established in December 1995 when the Free Clinic first opened to the public.  The mission of the clinic was to provide basic dental care to many in need.  Recently, with the inclusion of the dental team formerly at Fairview Community Health, the Dental Clinic has evolved to a full time dental practice which offers less costly fee-for-service options to its patients.  The Dental Clinic operates on a simple sliding scale to determine cost of service provided on a case-by-case basis.  Medicaid is accepted for both pediatric and adult patients, including Medicaid maternity patients in need of a prenatal teeth cleaning visit. Services provided include extractions, fillings, bi-annual cleaning and x-rays.

Basic Eligibility Guidelines

• The patient must reside in Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Hart, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson or Warren counties.
• Patients are required to provide current Federal Tax 1040 information on first visit and then annually. Non-filing patients must complete a federal 4506-T (provided) to qualify for eligibility and charity care discounts.  
• Patients with private pay dental insurance or whose annual family income falls above 225% of the national poverty guideline (NPG) are not eligible for services.
• Patients are seen by appointment only.  Patient's failure to keep a scheduled appointment without 24-hour notification may be dismissed from future eligibility.
• Patients are expected to pay the minimum service fee (as determined by sliding scale) at the time of visit. The balance of the service fee may be billed, but payments are expected promptly to avoid bad debt and to avoid dismissal from future service.
