"What Does it Cost to Come to the Clinic?
There is no charge for visits to the Clinic. We do not accept insurance. And, we accept voluntary donations towards the cost of prescription medications or supplies. Patients may have to pay for medications not in our dispensary. If you need special attention that cannot be provided at VIM, we will help you find the medical care you need. We cannot, of course, guarantee that it will be provided free of charge."
"Are Services Available for Non-English Speaking Patients?
We prefer that a family member or friend come with the patient needing assistance to interpret. In the event that this is not possible, when making your appointment, please let us know if you need services in another language. We will try to find an interpreter to assist during the visit, although we cannot promise interpreter services beyond Spanish and Vietnamese"
