Jessie Trice Community Health Center Inc: Services & Hours

Jessie Trice Community Health Center Locations & Hours

JTCHS has multiple clinical sites. Choose the location based on the service needed rather than assuming the corporate office is the correct place for a medical appointment.

The main scheduling number is 305-637-6400. Confirm the clinic address, department, clinician and appointment time before traveling.

Medical & Support Services Available

JTCHS provides a broad range of outpatient services. Some are available at selected clinics rather than every location.

Which Department Should You Choose?

• Routine adult visit: Ask for family medicine or primary care.
• Infant or child’s appointment: Ask for pediatrics and confirm the correct Children’s Wellness location.
• Tooth pain or dental cleaning: Ask for dental services, not general medical scheduling alone.
• Pregnancy or gynecology: Ask for OB/GYN and current provider hours.
• Counseling or substance-use help: Ask for behavioral health and whether an assessment is required.
• Eye or foot care: Confirm the optometry or podiatry location and referral requirements.

For a comparison of how another nonprofit clinic coordinates primary care, pediatrics, dental and behavioral health, see our San Fernando Community Health Center services guide.

Jessie Trice Dental Center: Address & Hours

JTCHS Dental Health Center operates at a different street address from the main Dr. Fatima Zafar medical clinic.

How to Arrange a Dental Visit

1. Call scheduling. Use 305-637-6400 and request dental care.
2. Describe the need. Explain whether the appointment is for preventive care, tooth pain, a child or another dental concern.
3. Check coverage. Ask about the exact dental insurance plan, Medicaid benefits or a possible sliding-scale discount.
4. Confirm the location. Verify 5607 NW 27th Avenue, Suite 2, rather than 5361 NW 22nd Avenue.
5. Prepare records. Bring requested dental history, medication information and guardian documents if applicable.

Medicaid, Medicare, Insurance & Sliding-Scale Fees

JTCHS is a Federally Qualified Health Center. The CDC lists insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and sliding-scale payment options for its Main Center.

How to Ask for Financial Assistance

1. Call 305-637-6400 before booking or paying for an appointment.
2. Explain that you need a reduced-cost appointment or assistance understanding coverage.
3. Ask for the current sliding-fee eligibility and documentation requirements.
4. Prepare household size and available income information as directed.
5. Ask whether the discount applies to the medical, dental or specialty service you need.
6. Request the estimated out-of-pocket amount before treatment.

JTCHS also operates community health promotion and navigation programs that connect qualifying families to affordable insurance options and available care.

How to Book a Jessie Trice Appointment

JTCHS advertises appointment scheduling by telephone and through its official website. For most patients, the simplest starting point is 305-637-6400.

1. Choose the service. Identify family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, dental care, behavioral health or another department.
2. Call or open online scheduling. Contact 305-637-6400 or use the appointment section of JTCHS.org.
3. Identify your status. Tell the scheduler whether you are a new or returning patient.
4. Pick a location. Confirm that your chosen service is offered at the specific clinic.
5. Check insurance and costs. Give the exact plan name or ask about sliding-scale assistance.
6. Confirm the appointment. Record the clinician, date, time, clinic address and any preparation instructions.
7. Prepare documents. Bring available insurance information, a medication list and any requested medical records.

Booking Online

JTCHS’s published patient instructions describe the online process:

1. Visit the official JTCHS website.
2. Find the appointment scheduling option.
3. Select the required type of appointment.
4. Choose the date, clinician and location shown as available.
5. Complete the prompts and confirm the reservation.

Same-Day & Walk-In Questions

The CDC’s Main Center testing directory says an appointment is not required for certain listed testing services, but this should not be generalized to all primary-care, dental or specialist appointments. Call to confirm walk-in availability and eligibility for your requested service.

HIV/STI Testing, Prevention & Vaccines

The CDC’s current public health testing directory lists specific services at JTCHS Main Center, 5361 NW 22nd Avenue, Miami.

Services, age eligibility and charges may differ by clinic. The CDC directory lists the Miami Main Center as offering English and Spanish support and sliding-scale payment options.

How to Request Testing

1. Call 305-637-6400 and identify the test or service needed.
2. Ask whether testing is available as a walk-in or requires an appointment on the date you plan to attend.
3. Confirm eligibility, confidentiality and any expected fee.
4. Ask whether testing requires specific preparation or referral.
5. Follow the clinic’s instructions for receiving results and arranging treatment or follow-up.

Time-sensitive HIV exposure: If you think you may have been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours, seek urgent clinical evaluation for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Do not wait for an ordinary future appointment.

Patient Portal, Records & Follow-Up Care

JTCHS has promoted a patient portal for eligible patients. Portal functions and enrollment procedures may change, so start from its official website rather than an unfamiliar third-party login page.

Questions to Ask About the Portal

• How do new patients activate a portal account?
• Can available test results and visit summaries be viewed online?
• How should prescription refills be requested?
• Can appointments be rescheduled or canceled online?
• How can a patient obtain copies of medical or dental records?
• Which messages need a telephone call rather than secure messaging?

For records transfers, ask JTCHS for the current authorization or release-of-information process. Do not submit sensitive medical records through an unrelated website or ordinary public contact form.

After-Hours Help

The published clinic locations primarily list weekday office hours. An after-hours telephone message or answering service does not mean a clinician is available for an immediate in-person appointment.

For a potentially life-threatening emergency, call 911. For a mental health or suicide-related crisis in the United States, call or text 988.

For another example of how a multi-site FQHC organizes patient portal access, new-patient services and after-hours contacts, see our Providence Community Health Center patient information guide.

First Appointment: What to Bring

• Your confirmed appointment date and specific clinic address.
• Photo identification, if available and requested.
• Medicaid, Medicare or other insurance card, if applicable.
• Names and doses of current medications.
• List of allergies and relevant health conditions.
• Important recent test results or referral documents.
• Immunization records for children when relevant.
• Parent, guardian or consent documents for minors when required.
• Household income information if applying for a reduced fee.
• Any questions about treatment, prescriptions or follow-up.

Before You Travel

1. Confirm the street address and suite with scheduling.

Current official material does not establish a reliable visitor parking-space count for every clinic. Ask your chosen location directly about accessible parking and arrival instructions.
