Insurance, Uninsured Patients & Sliding-Fee Discounts

C.W. Williams accepts patients regardless of insurance status. It reports accepting participating private insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid.

Patients without insurance can request a Sliding Discount Fee Scale assessment, with discounted charges determined using household income and household size.

Your SituationWhat to Do
Private insuranceAsk whether your exact plan, network and service are accepted. Bring the insurance card.
MedicareCall to verify the applicable provider, coverage and any cost-sharing.
MedicaidAsk whether your specific North Carolina Medicaid plan is participating and whether an assigned provider or referral matters.
UninsuredRequest sliding-fee screening based on household size and income.
Applying for coverageRequest enrollment or eligibility assistance from the health center.
Question about a billCall 704-393-7720 and request Patient Billing, extension 1031.
Not a free clinic: the center explicitly states that its routine services are not universally free. Payment is normally expected at the time of service. It does not publish one reliable fixed fee for every appointment, so confirm your personal estimate before treatment.

How to Request the Sliding Fee Scale

Tell scheduling staff you are uninsured or need a discount.

Ask for the Sliding Fee Scale or Sliding Discount Fee Application.

Confirm who counts in your household.

Follow the clinic’s definition of household size and required supporting information.

Prepare income and residency evidence.

Use documents accepted by the clinic and ask about alternatives if necessary.

Submit through the authorized patient process.

Do not send income statements or personal documents to unofficial guide websites.

Confirm charges.

Ask what the discount covers and whether lab work, dental procedures, medicines or outside referrals have separate charges.

  3. Ask for the earliest appointment and the exact location.
  4. Verify dental insurance acceptance or sliding-fee availability.

Dental procedures may have different fees from a general medical visit. Request an estimate for the proposed treatment rather than assuming one standard appointment charge.

  3. Ask whether the medicine is ready and what the expected out-of-pocket charge will be.
  4. Bring identification or other pickup information requested by pharmacy staff.
  5. For refills, contact the pharmacy early rather than assuming immediate same-day dispensing.

Medication availability, refill approvals and reduced pricing depend on the individual prescription and patient circumstances.

Free Transportation & Telehealth Appointments

Non-Emergency Patient Transportation

The center advertises transportation for eligible patients attending healthcare appointments.

Transportation: 980-785-5711.

Confirm the service area, eligibility, pickup location, advance booking requirements and whether a return ride is included.

Telehealth Visits

Telehealth may be available for medical, behavioral-health, case-management or patient-education appointments.
