Freedom Hill has an on-site dispensing pharmacy serving established eligible Carolina Family Health Centers patients. Its hours differ from the medical clinic, and there are scheduled meal breaks.

The organization’s pharmacy program also lists free medication delivery. Confirm service-area eligibility, which medications qualify and delivery arrangements before relying on it.

Medical Services Available Through Freedom Hill

Carolina Family Health Centers provides team-based medical and preventive healthcare. The following services are listed within its medical and behavioral-health programs; some require a particular provider, referral or scheduled clinic session.

Additional organization-wide support services include care coordination, specialty referrals, case management, certified diabetes education, transportation assistance, language assistance and insurance-enrollment help.

Dental services are offered through the organization’s Carolina Family Dental Center at 8282 South NC Highway 58, Elm City, NC 27822. Do not assume routine dental appointments take place at Freedom Hill.

HIV, Hepatitis C and STI Testing

The CDC’s public-health directory lists Freedom Hill for HIV, hepatitis C and sexually transmitted infection testing and related prevention services. Its directory also identifies several potentially free services, subject to eligibility and current availability.

The CDC lists an appointment requirement for the site’s testing services. Do not assume walk-in testing is available at the time of arrival.

Insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and Sliding-Fee Discounts

Freedom Hill serves insured and uninsured patients. Its parent organization states that it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, participating commercial insurance and HMO/PPO plans.

How the Sliding Fee Discount Works

Carolina Family Health Centers uses household size and annual income to determine eligibility under annually updated federal poverty guidelines. A completed application and income documentation are required.

1. Tell scheduling staff you need financial assistance. Request information about the Sliding Fee Discount Program before the appointment.
2. Prepare household information. The application asks for patient details, household/family members, insurance status and income information.
3. Gather proof of income. Ask which pay records, benefit letters or other documents are currently accepted.
4. Complete the application. Use the current form provided by the center or the official online resource.
5. Ask about the minimum payment. Eligible discounts do not necessarily eliminate all visit charges.
6. Discuss payment arrangements. The organization offers flexible payment plans where applicable.

Payment is ordinarily expected at the time of service. For non-urgent visits, discuss cost concerns with staff before arrival so you understand the appointment’s minimum payment and any additional laboratory or medication charges.

How to Schedule a Freedom Hill Appointment

The center accepts new patients of all ages. Its official instructions direct new patients to call the location where they want care.

1. Identify the service. Choose primary care, behavioral health, testing, medication help or another listed service.
2. Call 252-641-0514. Contact the Freedom Hill front desk during published medical hours.
3. Explain whether you are new or returning. Tell the scheduler the reason for your visit and whether you need an evening appointment.
4. Confirm coverage. Provide your insurance plan information or request sliding-fee assistance if applicable.
5. Ask about appointment availability. Verify the clinician, date, arrival time and whether you need a referral.
6. Confirm necessary paperwork. Ask whether you can complete new-patient forms before attending.
7. Arrive 30 minutes early if new. The center’s official new-patient instructions recommend early arrival for registration.
8. Check in at the correct facility. Freedom Hill is at 162 NC Highway 33 East in Tarboro.

New Patient Checklist: What to Bring

According to the organization’s new-patient instructions, patients should prepare:

• A valid identification card.
• Insurance card, if insured.
• A current list of medications or the medications being taken.
• Proof of income when applying for the sliding-fee discount.
• Previous medical records, if transferring from another provider.
• Relevant referral or testing documents if required by the appointment.
• Completed new-patient paperwork, when available.

Arrive at least 30 minutes before your first appointment. If you are missing a document, call before canceling the visit; staff can explain what is required for registration or financial assistance.

The sliding-fee application available on the organization’s website is dated 2018. It provides useful preparation guidance, but ask staff whether a newer application must be used before submitting personal financial information.

Language Assistance, Accessibility and Transportation

Carolina Family Health Centers publishes a nondiscrimination notice offering free language assistance and accessible communication support to patients who need it.

Patients can request interpreting services, information in an accessible format or communication assistance by speaking to the provider or calling the organization’s assistance number, 252-293-0013.

The organization’s additional-services program also includes transportation assistance for medical and dental appointments. Request the service while scheduling and confirm availability, eligibility and pickup arrangements.

Freedom Hill Location, Directions and Contact Numbers

Some older directories associate Freedom Hill with Princeville or its earlier location. The operating organization’s current official location page lists the clinic at 162 NC 33 East, Tarboro, NC 27886. Use that address for directions.

Why the Center Is Named Freedom Hill

Freedom Hill is a historically significant name associated with the nearby town of Princeville. The operator explains that the name honors Turner Prince and the freed African Americans who founded Princeville after the Civil War.

Carolina Family Health Centers established services in the area in 2005, and the current approximately 10,000-square-foot facility was built in 2007 to expand healthcare access for Edgecombe County residents.

The center’s location, services and purpose reflect its role in serving a community that has historically faced barriers to healthcare access.
