Health Insurance We Accept
The Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County (DOH-Sarasota) accepts most insurance plans including Medicaid, Medicare, and private coverage. We are committed to providing access to affordable care to as many people as possible.
Payment
We offer a sliding fee scale for those who do not have insurance or if their insurance is not accepted. The cost of most services depends on your ability to pay. There is no cost associated with some services, while other services require payment if you have the ability.
Health Card
If your insurance is listed below, you do not need a Health Card (sometimes called a Clinic Card) to recieve health services covered by your plan. You may be eligible for reduced deductibles and fees that are not covered by your insurance plan. Without a reduced-fee Health Card, uncovered deductibles and services are billed at 100%.
