Patient Information

 

The Fauquier Free Clinic serves patients from low-income households in Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. Patients with Medicaid, Medicare, or other insurance for health care are not eligible for our clinic.

If you live in a neighboring county, you should seek out a free health clinic in your area. The Virginia Association of Free Clinics has a directory to help you here.

Our services are provided by volunteers. With the support of local specialist doctors and dentists, local pharmacies, and the Fauquier Hospital, we can provide high quality comprehensive care to you and your family. Although many of our services are free for eligible patients, sometimes you will be asked to pay for labs, x-rays, or other services provided somewhere that we have referred you to. It is your responsibility to ask specialists and other health care providers about any charges before you get the treatment.

You will never be required to pay for services at the clinic itself, although you may choose to make a small donation.

Please read the following information carefully. If you have any questions, ask one of our volunteers.

Walk-in registration is from 5:30 to 6:30 pm each Thursday. You may call Thursday afternoon (540) 347-0394 between 12:30 and 2:00 pm to “preregister.” Clinics during the day on Tuesday and Wednesday are by appointment. Just give us a call to get scheduled.

A volunteer will ask about your income, living arrangements, and any insurance coverage you might have during our eligibility screening process. Free Clinic services are available to low income families that live in Fauquier or Rappahannock County, have no health insurance and no Medicaid or Medicare. We will see any child under age 18 regardless of family circumstances.

You must provide proof of where you live and the amount of your family’s income. This is required for services and free medications. We are also available on Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 – 3:00 to help you complete our paperwork.

We do not provide the same services as the Health Department. If you need a school physical, immunizations, maternity care, pregnancy test, HIV or TB testing, please contact the Health Department at 540-347–6400 Monday through Friday from 9:00am – 4:30pm. For PAP smears call 540-439–0060.

The doctors, nurses and administrative staff are volunteers. Please take a moment to thank them because without them we would not be able to open our doors every week.

Prescriptions that you are given here can be filled at one of our participating pharmacies (Wal-Mart in Warrenton, Remington Drug Store, and The Plains Pharmacy). Most laboratory tests and x-rays that you might need can be donated by Fauquier Hospital.

Our doctors and dentists take turns helping out at the Free Clinic. Do not contact the doctor’s office with questions regarding follow-up care. Any questions should be directed to the Free Clinic staff. Our telephone number is (540) 347–0394.

We look forward to serving you!
