Attention!
Does Your Child Need Healthcare?
The Multnomah County Health Department’s School-Based HealthCenter Program is here to assist your family in getting the healthcare they need.
The clinic is like any medical office, but we specialize in caring for school-aged children.
School-based health centers are funded through third-party insurance, Medicaid, grants and public funds. Providing us with your insurance coverage information allows us to bill your insurance and reduces our need for public funding so we can provide service to as many students as possible.
Families with no health insurance or who do not provide insurance information are referred to an Eligibility Specialist to see if they may qualify for the Oregon Health Plan or other insurance programs. This coverage could fully insure your child for medical, dental, and emergency services. We strongly encourage you to apply for this valuable coverage. The school-based health center will also receive payment for services from the insurance, allowing it to remain open for all students.
If your insurance doesn’t pay for all or part of the cost you are not responsible for any out-of-pocket expenses.
The School-Based Health Centers provides the following services:
