Quick Answers: Which Service Do You Need?

Routine medical care

Start with a primary care clinic for checkups, illness, ongoing health conditions and preventive care.

Children’s healthcare

Ask for pediatric appointments, developmental checkups, vaccinations or school-related health services.

Dental care

Choose a location specifically designated as a dental clinic, rather than assuming dentistry is offered at every medical office.

Mental health support

Ask scheduling staff whether behavioral health services are available at your preferred location or by telehealth.

No health insurance

Request information about the sliding-fee discount program and bring proof of household income.

Testing or vaccination

Ask about immunizations, HIV/STI testing, hepatitis screening or tuberculosis services before visiting.

Medical emergency: Call 911 or go to an emergency department for severe, life-threatening symptoms. Tri-State community clinics are not substitutes for emergency departments.

Address discrepancy: Some federal and public directories still show the Laughlin clinic at 2311 S Casino Drive, Suite A-3. The clinic’s own current directory shows 1955 S Casino Drive, Unit 118. Similarly, some older Adelanto records show other Bartlett Avenue addresses. Confirm the correct building with the location’s telephone number before traveling.

The official directory lists both Hemet and Pomona primary care and dental/specialty services at the same general street addresses but with different department telephone numbers. Call the department appropriate to your visit.

Medical, Dental & Community Services

The health center publishes a broad range of services. Availability varies between primary, dental and specialty clinic sites.

General medical visits, routine health checks, illness evaluation, preventive care and long-term health management.

Pediatric Care

Children’s medical visits, growth and health assessments, immunizations and preventive services.

Immunizations

Age-appropriate vaccinations and vaccine-related counseling, depending on eligibility and supply.

Foot and ankle evaluation and treatment by available specialty providers.

Nutrition

Nutrition-related education and support, including advice for certain chronic medical conditions.

Optometry

Eye and vision services where the appropriate clinical team is available.

Testing & Prevention Services

CDC prevention-program listings identify services such as HIV testing, hepatitis C screening, chlamydia and gonorrhea testing, syphilis testing, tuberculosis screening, adult hepatitis B vaccination and STI treatment at listed Tri-State locations.

Before visiting for testing: Ask whether an appointment is required, whether the test is performed onsite, when results will be ready, how confidential results are delivered and what insurance or self-pay charges apply.

Service-location rule: A service being listed across the Tri-State network does not guarantee it is provided at every location. Dental patients should contact designated dental offices, while specialty patients should check their specific provider’s schedule.

How to Make an Appointment

Tri-State’s official website offers appointment scheduling, and the CDC lists appointments as required for several clinics. Confirm your exact appointment time before arriving.

Select the correct clinic

Choose the city and medical department. If you need dental or specialty care, check for the corresponding clinic rather than choosing a primary care office automatically.

Call the location

Use the direct telephone number in the directory. State whether you are a new or returning patient and explain the purpose of your visit.

Check insurance and payment

Give your insurance plan information if applicable. If uninsured, ask about income verification and sliding-fee eligibility.

Confirm date and location

Verify the exact suite, provider, appointment time, lunch closure and any required preparation.

Complete official patient forms

Use the downloadable patient forms on Tri-State’s website before your visit when instructed.

Bring documents to the clinic

Arrive with registration documents, identification, medication information, coverage details and relevant medical records.

New Patient Forms & Documents to Bring

The center’s official patient information page provides forms for adults, children and dental patients.

Bring These Items

  • Completed patient registration forms.
  • Photo identification.
  • Health insurance card, if applicable.
  • Social Security card, if applicable and requested by the clinic.
  • All current medications or an accurate medication list.
  • Immunization records, especially for pediatric appointments.

Time-saving tip: Complete only the documents appropriate to your appointment. Ask whether electronic completion is accepted or if you should bring printed, signed copies. Do not send sensitive medical records to an unofficial third-party contact.

Tri-State states that it accepts many private and public insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, AHCCCS and selected commercial plans.

Insurance Plans Listed by Tri-State

Self-Pay Assistance

An income-based sliding-fee program may reduce charges for eligible patients with limited or no income.

What Will Your Visit Cost?

The center does not publish one verified network-wide flat price for all types of visits. Charges depend on the location, procedure, insurance plan, deductibles, copays and any applicable sliding-fee discount.

Tri-State’s payment policy states that copays, deductibles and uncovered fees are generally collected at the time of service. Listed payment methods include cash, Mastercard and Visa.

Do not assume the visit is free. A sliding-fee discount may be available, but the exact patient responsibility must be calculated by the clinic. Ask whether laboratory tests, imaging, vaccines, dental procedures and specialist consultations have separate fees.

How to Apply for a Sliding-Fee Discount

  1. Tell scheduling staff that you are uninsured or need payment assistance.
  2. Ask for the income verification form.
  3. Prepare available proof of household income.
  4. Provide household-size details requested by the eligibility team.
  5. Ask for your estimated fee and whether any additional services are billed separately.
  6. Keep your eligibility determination and payment receipt for future reference.

Patient Portal, Medical Records & After-Hours Help

Patient Portal

Tri-State provides a patient portal linked from its official website. Patients should use the clinic’s authorized portal for available record, account and care-team communication functions.

If you cannot access your account, ask your clinic how to reset portal credentials. Avoid emailing passwords, Social Security numbers or confidential medical information.

Requesting Medical Records

The official patient information page includes a medical record release form and a separate behavioral health record release form. Complete the appropriate authorization and confirm where it must be submitted.

After-Hours Calls

The organization’s locations page states that patients may call clinic telephone numbers to connect with licensed professionals for medical advice during or after normal operating hours.

Emergency warning: After-hours advice is not an emergency service. Call 911 or use an emergency department for severe breathing problems, signs of stroke, major injury or other life-threatening emergencies.

Local Visitor Tips by Area

Needles, California

Primary and dental/specialty listings share 820 W Broadway Street. Call the office and confirm the correct reception desk before arriving.

Adelanto, California

Primary, dental and specialty services have separate Bartlett Avenue addresses. Do not assume all appointments are in the same building.

Hemet, California

Primary and dental/specialty departments have separate telephone numbers even though they share the same general San Jacinto Street location.

Los Angeles Area

There are several locations, including Verdugo Road, East 1st Street, Crenshaw Boulevard and South Los Angeles. Choose the closest clinic that offers your specific service.

Laughlin, Nevada

Some older government listings show a different Casino Drive address. Confirm the clinic’s current building before traveling.

Mohave Valley, Arizona

The primary clinic is on South Highway 95. Ask if your insurance is accepted across state lines before booking.

Travel tip: Most locations close during a midday lunch period. Arriving around noon without a confirmed appointment may lead to a long wait or closed reception.
