DePaul Community Health Center Fees, Insurance & Sliding Scale

DePaul accepts commercial health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, cash and credit cards. It also publishes discounted self-pay arrangements for patients who meet the sliding-fee requirements.

How to Ask for a Sliding-Fee Discount

Insurance Questions to Answer Before Booking

• Does the location currently accept my specific insurance plan?
• Is the clinician in-network?
• Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
• Will laboratory or specialty services cost extra?
• Can staff help me apply for Medicaid or understand Medicare options?
• If uninsured, what documents establish sliding-fee eligibility?

Coverage acceptance does not mean every specific service will be covered. Your plan determines applicable copays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs.

How to Make a DePaul Appointment

You can request medical appointments through DePaul’s official scheduling page or contact the clinic directly. If you need a specific service, identify that service before selecting the provider or facility.

Need an Appointment Quickly?

Algiers is listed as providing urgent care in addition to routine services. Call 504-362-8930 to ask whether your non-emergency concern can be evaluated there and whether same-day appointments or walk-ins are accepted at the time you plan to arrive.

For routine scheduling at Carrollton, call 504-207-3060. Use the direct location numbers when the service or clinician is associated with another site.

DePaul Dental Care & Eye Care

Dental and vision services are important reasons patients search for DePaul, but availability is location-specific.

Dental Services

DePaul describes preventive and restorative dental care for children and adults, with pediatric dental care beginning at age 1. Services may include routine examinations, cleanings, treatment planning, crowns, bridges and other procedures appropriate to the patient’s needs.

Call to establish whether the location is scheduling new dental patients, which treatments are available, whether X-rays are needed and what the final expected charges will be.

Eye Care

Carrollton lists optometry and eye-care services, including certain retinal examinations for patients with diabetes. Algiers also lists optometry. Availability of routine eye exams and other specialized services should be confirmed directly.

Services May Include

• Individual and group counseling
• Psychiatric evaluations
• Medication management
• Depression and behavioral health screenings
• Case management and peer support
• Alcohol and substance-use screenings
• Outpatient substance-use treatment

Behavioral health access is described as available through DePaul locations and telehealth. The organization reports that many new patients may be seen within 24–72 hours after contacting the team, but this is not a guaranteed appointment window.
