Who Are InterFaith's Patients?

Picture
InterFaith Health Clinic's patients are those who are working without health insurance. Many of our patients are employed by hotels, restaurants and salons where health insurance either isn't offered or isn't affordable proportional to the salary.  Some of InterFaith's patients are temporary employees or were recently hired and on a probationary period without health insurance benefits. Our patients are also people who lack supplemental policies covering medication. Without InterFaith, these patients could not afford doctor's visits or necessary medication.

InterFaith has no geographic boundaries. Thus, the clinic has patients from all over the East Tennessee region. Eighty-six percent of the clinic's patients, however, live and work in Knox County, Tennessee.

What are the requirements to be a patient at InterFaith?

InterFaith patients have no medical insurance and are not eligible for TennCare. Patients must also fall within certain financial guidelines. Please call the clinic at 865.546.7330 to see if you qualify.

How much does it cost to see a doctor at InterFaith?

InterFaith is not a free clinic. Patients are charged according to a sliding fee scale based on the number of people in the household and the total household income. The sliding fee scale ranges from 10% to 50% of the actual cost of care. Ninety-six percent of the InterFaith's patients pay at the lowest level - 10% - of the scale.  In other words, a procedure that would normally cost $250 in the private sector would only cost $25 for an InterFaith patient at the 10% level. The average visit costs the clinic $55, while most patients pay $15. The difference is made up with charitable donations to the clinic.

How can I become an InterFaith patient?

InterFaith is currently accepting new medical patients.  Individuals seeking to become patients at InterFaith may come by the clinic to complete an application packet any time between the hours of 8:30am -11:00am or 2:00pm-4:00pm. Please note that, due to patient volumes, new patient applications may only be completed during these designated times. 

Interested individuals can save time by printing and filling out the new patient application found HERE.
