Quality, Affordable, Primary Care for Northwest Montana
Sliding Scale for Discounts
NWCHC has been providing medical and dental services in Lincoln County since 2002, and has truly become a primary access point for not only uninsured folks but for insured community members looking for a health care home. As a private non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer board of directors, NWCHC is patient-focused and strives to be the healthcare safety net for the communities it serves. The first step to becoming a Community Health Center patient is to schedule an office visit with one of our medical, dental or behavioral health providers. You will need to provide basic information to schedule the appointment and then will be required to complete the following paperwork:
- Adult Demographics Form
- Child Demographics Form
- Child Consent for Treatment
- Privacy Policy
- Financial Worksheet
- Authorization for Disclosure of Health Information
All health center patients are eligible to apply for the Sliding Scale for Payment and need to complete a Financial Worksheet. Any patient can qualify for a range of discounts based on their income and household size.

Community Health Centers (CHCs) serve low-income working families, the uninsured, and other high-risk populations such as the homeless, the frail elderly, migrant farm workers, isolated rural families and poor women and children. They serve people who face barriers to care and whose unmet health needs represent a huge and growing cost to the nation.
Am I eligible for a discount?
