Nilavena Subregional Clinic
SCF has managed the 330(e) Health Resources and Services Administration Community Health Center grant since 2002. This allows SCF and the Nilavena Subregional Clinic (NSC) to serve seven communities within the Lake and Peninsula Borough, located 250 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska.
NSC serves a population of over 800 permanent residents and a transient population of over 3,000 people.
This clinic is funded by a federal grant to provide medical services. The grant requires that customers are charged for these services, based on their ability to pay. Discounts are offered depending upon both household income and size. A sliding fee schedule is used to calculate the basic discount and is updated each year. A completed annual application including required documentation of the home address, household income and insurance coverage must be on file and be approved before a discount will be granted.
No customer will be denied services due to an inability to pay.
Please complete the written application form, available at the front desk, to determine if you or members of your family are eligible for a discount. If you are eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, you will be asked to fill out an application form to apply for this third party coverage. This allows Southcentral Foundation to bill a third party for medical services provided, and will help maintain the medical services provided at rural clinics.
