Because our services are directed at lower-income, uninsured people, patients must meet two qualifications:
Income Qualification
- Determine how many people are in your household, which means everyone living off of the combined income in your home.
- Calculate how much you make in a single year between all household income makers
- If your total annual income is less than 200% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (2023) for your family size, then you are qualified economically.

Lack of Insurance Qualification
You may not have private, public, or self-purchased health insurance or benefits (including Veterans Administration, Medicaid or Medicare.) This also applies to dental services at the clinic even if your health coverage does not extend dental benefits.
If you meet both of those qualifications, you are eligible to be a Genesis patient.
Fill out a patient application.
Post Application Processes
Screening Process
Each patient is screened for eligibility at the clinic before the first appointment and re-screened every six months thereafter. You MUST bring proper documentation to your first appointment or you will be turned away when you arrive. Eligible patients are those with no health insurance of any kind with a financial household income of 200% or less of federal poverty guidelines.
Financial Documentation
- Verification of household income (pay stub, W-2 form, Tax return, etc. from all working members of the house in which you live)
It is also helpful to bring any medical or prescription history you may have.
Service Restrictions
The scope of care provided by the clinic is limited due to the volunteer nature of our clinic. Our staff will select patients for registration based on our ability to professionally meet their overall healthcare needs. We cannot guarantee any patient will be admitted for care and will do our best to refer you to appropriate resources.
Patients are not refused service based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, residency status, or for any other non-financial/non-medical reason.
If you do not speak English, please bring a translator with you to your appointment (Si usted no habla inglés por favor traiga un traductor a su cita si es possible).
