  • Will I be seen the same day that I come to register?
    It is possible, but not guaranteed. Every patient must first register. Appointments will be scheduled based on the severity of your condition and our providers’ availability. You will be given the next available appointment.
  • Will applying for Medicaid disqualify me from being a patient?
    No, applying for Medicaid will not disqualify you. While the application is pending, or if the application is denied, you will remain our patient.

    Matthew 25 will provide you with a 15-30 day supply of the medications if they are available or an alternate medication will be prescribed until the medications arrives through PAP.
  • How much does it cost?
    Matthew 25 is a charitable health center. This means that all services and medications provided by Matthew 25 are at no cost to the patient. We do not submit insurance claims and we do not receive any government money to operate. To help cover some of the cost of care, we invite patients to donate $5.00 for each medical visit and $10.00 for each dental visit. However, this is a freewill offering only. No qualifying patient will be turned away for his or her inability to contribute.
  • When do I receive my medications?
    As a part of every medical appointment, if medications are prescribed, they will be distributed to you at the Med Room window. You will receive your PAP medications there.

  • How can I get refills on my medications?
    If the PAP provider has given you refills on a medication, then call the medication refill line, 469-0232, 5 business days before you need to pick up your medication, so they can have it ready for you when you come in. If someone else is picking up your medication, please send a note with them giving them your permission.

  • Do you need a translator?
    English is the common language spoken at Matthew 25 Health & Dental Clinic. Because medical/dental history is taken, prescribed medications carefully explained, and critical directions regarding healthcare given – all in English, the patient must be able to understand what doctors, nurses and assistants are saying. Depending on volunteer availability, Matthew 25 may have a translator avaiable, but it is recommended patients bring an adult that can translate for them if the patient cannot speak English.
