Common questions
Questions about CARE Center
Does CARE Center accept Medicare for GLP-1 prescriptions?

What kind of site is CARE Center?
HRSA records CARE Center as a permanent federally qualified health center service delivery site, in federal scope since 2022. HILL COUNTRY COMMUNITY CLINIC operates it alongside 7 other listed locations. That is a federal registration, not a service list.

Is there a sliding fee scale at CARE Center?
Yes. Ask intake for the sliding fee application and bring income documentation for your household. The discount reduces what CARE Center charges for the visit, not what a pharmacy bills Part D for the GLP-1 itself. Call 530-691-4446 if the required documents aren't clear.
