LARGO - The Low-Income Pool Primary Care Clinic at the Pinellas County Health Department is now offering health services to uninsured, low-income children and adults on a sliding-fee scale at its Mid-County center location.
LIP is funded by the state of Florida to "ensure continued government support for the provision of health care services to Medicaid, underinsured and uninsured populations." For information about LIP funding, visit ahca.myflorida.com/Medicaid/medicaid_reform/lip/index.shtml.
The Mid-County center is at 8751 Ulmerton Rd., Largo. Appointments are now available. Call 524-4410, ext. 7646.
Fees are based on the declared income of the child's family or the individual. Adults must be uninsured or have Medicaid. Incomes should be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of four, 200 percent would be $44,700 in annual income.
A second LIP clinic for children and young people 18 and younger only is located at Boca Ciega High School, 924 58th St. S., Gulfport. Call 893-2780, ext. 2199.
