Dental appointments may be available for urgent dental concerns. Call first to confirm space and the type of treatment available.

Medicaid and participating private dental insurance may be accepted. Uninsured patients can ask about the sliding-fee discount; minimum charges may still apply. Confirm current coverage and fees before treatment.

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

WCCHC is an FQHC that offers a sliding-fee discount program. This helps eligible patients who may struggle to pay regular healthcare charges.

Insurance Accepted

The center reports accepting Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance and certain managed-care plans. Participation depends on the specific insurer, product, clinician and service.

Call 815-727-8670 and give staff the exact plan name before scheduling.

For Uninsured Patients

Ask for a sliding-fee application. Discounts depend mainly on household income and family size, using federal poverty guidelines.

Reduced charges do not necessarily mean every service is free. A nominal or minimum fee may apply.

How to Request a Sliding-Fee Discount

  1. Call the center and explain that you need financial assistance with healthcare charges.
  2. Ask for the current sliding-fee application and documentation checklist.
  3. Prepare available household income information and family-size details.
  4. Provide your insurance information, if any, and ask staff to determine your eligibility.
  5. Before treatment, ask for the expected visit charge and whether lab tests, procedures, medications or specialist care have additional costs.

The center offers separate fee arrangements for medical, behavioral health, dental and family planning services. Do not assume one quoted fee applies to every department.

Insurance enrollment assistance: Call 815-774-6090 for help with Medicaid and Marketplace enrollment questions.

How to Make a New Patient Appointment

  1. Choose your treatment. Decide whether you need primary care, dental treatment, pediatrics, women’s health, counseling, eye care or another service.
  2. Select the right clinic. Joliet has the widest service range. Bolingbrook and Monee have more limited schedules.
  3. Call 815-727-8670. Explain that you are a new or returning patient and name the service you need. For dental scheduling, you may also call 815-774-7300.
  4. Describe your appointment needs. Explain the reason for the visit, preferred branch, and whether you need interpretation or accessibility assistance.
  5. Check payment and coverage. Ask whether your insurance is accepted or how to request a sliding-fee discount.
  6. Confirm documents. Ask which new-patient forms, identification, insurance information, records or income documents you should bring.
  7. Write down the appointment. Confirm date, arrival time, service department, clinic address and cancellation instructions.

An online appointment request is not a confirmed appointment until the health center accepts and schedules it.

Same-Day and Walk-In Appointments

The health center offers same-day appointments for certain non-life-threatening illnesses and minor injuries. Walk-in patients are evaluated based on provider availability, and service is generally first-come, first-served.

Typical Same-Day Visit Reasons

  • Cold, cough and flu symptoms
  • Sore throat
  • Minor cuts
  • Sprains and strains
  • Other mild illnesses that the clinic can evaluate

Schedule a Routine Appointment For

  • Annual preventive examinations
  • School, sports and employment physicals
  • Planned chronic-care follow-ups
  • Routine preoperative examinations
  • Nonurgent specialist follow-ups
Medical emergencies: Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for severe chest pain, significant breathing difficulty, stroke-like symptoms, uncontrolled bleeding or another potentially life-threatening condition. Do not wait for an ordinary clinic appointment.

Official Same-Day Appointment Guidance

New Patient Checklist: What to Bring

  • Appointment confirmation and correct clinic address
  • Photo identification, if available
  • Insurance, Medicaid or Medicare card, if applicable

Patient Portal, Telehealth & After-Hours Care

Patient Portal

The patient portal can help with test results, medical records, medication-refill requests, messages and appointment requests.

Call 815-727-8670 to enroll or re-enroll.

Telehealth Visits

Some appointments may be conducted by video or telephone using the clinic’s telehealth system.

Telehealth availability depends on the medical service and provider. Ask the care team whether your visit qualifies.
