What follows is a list of free or reduced fee health care resources in Arizona. It will take some work on your part but I hope this gives you the tools to find the help you need. Let us know how it goes, good luck.


NRSA is a part of the US Department of Health and Human Services where Federally-funded health centers care for you, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers provide. Using their tool on this website I was able to find many within AZ

• checkups when you're well
• treatment when you're sick
• complete care when you're pregnant
• immunizations and checkups for your children
• dental care and prescription drugs for your family

Sliding Fee Scale Clinics


A sliding fee schedule (SFS) is used by providers offering discounted fees for services to persons without health insurance. The SFS determines, based on gross family income, the percentage or portion of billed charges that the uninsured client will be responsible for.

The Arizona health service sites listed offer discounted fees for services for those who do not have health insurance.
