Medical, Dental & Behavioral Health Services

West County Health Centers offers several types of outpatient healthcare. However, services are distributed across locations, so not every treatment is available at the Palm Avenue clinic.

Dental Exams & Treatment

Oral examinations, preventive care, dental cleanings, fillings, X-rays, extractions and other treatment or referrals based on clinical assessment.

Start with the Sebastopol dental office.

Family Primary Care

Routine medical appointments, preventive visits, management of common illnesses, referrals and ongoing care for adults and families.

Start with Gravenstein Community Health Center.

Behavioral Health

Mental health assessment, counseling and related support through the WCHC behavioral health program, depending on referral and eligibility.

Immunizations

Vaccinations and vaccine-related appointments through WCHC medical services. Ask about vaccine availability, insurance and age eligibility.

Chronic Condition Care

Ongoing primary care for conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, including monitoring, medication review and follow-up planning.

Wellness & Preventive Care

Preventive support, health education and wellness programming through WCHC’s participating locations and services.

Dental treatment versus medical treatment: Having both services in the same WCHC organization does not mean the same location, appointment, insurance network or payment policy applies to both.

How to Make a Sebastopol Health Center Appointment

  1. Identify the service. Decide whether you need a dental appointment, primary care visit, vaccine, behavioral health service or another type of treatment.
  2. Call the correct location. Dental: 707-869-2933. Gravenstein medical: 707-823-3166. For general assistance, call 707-824-3391.
  3. Explain whether you are a new patient. Tell the scheduler what type of appointment you need, whether you have insurance, and whether you are seeking sliding-scale assistance.
  4. Confirm available dates and eligibility. Ask whether the clinician is accepting new patients, whether your insurance plan participates and whether a referral is needed.
  5. Request forms and access assistance. Ask whether new-patient paperwork is required, whether interpretation or accessibility accommodations are available and how to complete the forms securely.
  6. Verify the correct address. Have the scheduler repeat the street, suite, date, arrival time and any instructions for your visit.
  7. Attend with your documents. Bring your available identification, insurance information, medication list, relevant medical records and income documents if applying for a fee discount.
Walk-in appointments: A published office opening time is not confirmation of walk-in availability. Call first for same-day dental pain, new-patient visits or urgent but non-emergency medical needs.

Insurance, Medi-Cal & Sliding-Scale Fees

West County Health Centers accepts several payment and coverage arrangements. The applicable options depend on the clinic and treatment type.

Payment optionWhat patients should know
Medi-CalAccepted by WCHC, including its Sebastopol dental program. Verify the specific plan, covered services and any needed authorization.
MedicareAccepted for participating medical services. Ask about provider assignment, Medicare Advantage participation and individual coverage.
Private medical insuranceWCHC lists many participating insurance arrangements. Network acceptance can depend on the specific policy and medical provider.
Private dental insuranceWCHC states its Sebastopol and Russian River dental centers do not accept private dental insurance. Confirm any current exceptions directly.
Self-payPatients may pay privately. Request an estimate before a procedure because visit costs vary by treatment.
Sliding-scale discountIncome-based discounts may be available for eligible medical, dental and mental health services.

How to Request a Sliding-Scale Discount

  1. Ask for the sliding-scale program. Tell the scheduling or billing team that you need a discount screening.
  2. Explain your household situation. Eligibility may depend on household income, household size and the requested service.
  3. Prepare available income proof. Ask whether pay stubs, benefit letters, tax documents or an alternative income statement will be accepted.
  4. Complete the eligibility process. Submit only the documents requested through the clinic’s approved method.
  5. Request your estimated charge. Ask about the discounted office visit, dental treatment, lab services and possible referral costs.
Enrollment help: West County Health Centers lists its Access Coordinators at 707-823-3204 for assistance with available insurance and low-cost programs. WCHC also describes assistance with Medi-Cal, Covered California and certain other benefit applications.

For another California example of how sliding-fee care and coverage enrollment work, see our Serve the People Community Health Center affordable-care guide. Eligibility and costs are specific to each organization.

Low-Cost Programs That May Help Patients

Sliding-Scale Healthcare

Reduced charges for qualifying patients receiving eligible medical, dental or mental health services.

Family PACT

Family-planning services for eligible patients under program rules. Ask whether enrollment and appointments are available for your circumstances.

Breast & Cervical Cancer Screening

Insurance Enrollment Assistance

Guidance with available health coverage options, including Medi-Cal and Covered California, subject to applicable enrollment rules.

Program names, eligibility, coverage and funding can change. A listing does not mean every program is available at the Palm Avenue dental office.

After-Hours Help & Emergency Care

WCHC also publishes a different general after-hours number in its central contact directory. For an established Sebastopol patient’s concern, use the number provided by the treating clinic or on the latest appointment instructions.

Patient Portal, Results, Records & Follow-Up

West County Health Centers offers an electronic patient portal for participating patients. Its website describes access to messages, patient forms, laboratory results, reports and account information.

  1. Use the WCHC website. Open the official patient portal page rather than following a link from an unexpected text message.
  2. Sign in to your account. Use the account credentials or activation process provided by WCHC.
  3. Choose your task. Review available records, send a non-urgent message, obtain forms or check account information.
  4. Contact the clinic for access issues. Ask the patient-services team how to recover an account or request records if the portal does not show what you need.
Privacy: Use the clinic’s approved forms or patient portal for personal health information. Do not submit medical records or insurance identifiers to an unrelated directory website.

Directions, Parking & Accessibility

Before Leaving Home

  • Check the suite number in your appointment confirmation.
  • Ask which entrance and check-in desk you should use.
  • Confirm whether accessible parking, wheelchair access or mobility assistance is available for your visit.
  • If you use public transportation, verify your route and the return schedule.
  • Ask about language interpretation or accommodation needs when scheduling.

Parking space counts, parking charges and specific transit routes were not confirmed from the clinic’s current official location pages, so they should not be assumed.
