CommuniCare, formerly known as the "Davis Community Clinic," provides primary care medical services to the low-income and uninsured population of Davis. Services include laboratory, pediatric, tobacco prevention, reproductive health services, prenatal care, CHDP exams, childhood immunizations, HIV testing, family planning programs, dental clinic, teen clinic, Youth for Recovery drug treatment program and vision care. Rates are on a sliding scale and insurance plans accepted include Medi-Cal, Healthy Families, Partnership Health Plan, and YCHIP.

Medical Professionals are limited by HIPAA as to what information they can make public about their patients, including who their patients are. As such it is very hard for Doctors, Dentists, and Psychiatrists to respond to negative comments on the wiki. Please keep this in mind while reading any comments.

2010-04-08 08:20:31   I make 2,000 dollars/month and apparently with that kind of income they charge 180 for an office visit. That's about the same as Sutter. —AmandaAbughosh

• Are you sure that Sutter's prices aren't at least double or triple that? It's been years since I've been treated at Sutter, but I think I got charged something like $450 for a five-minute appointment. —ScottMeehleib
• Yes, I am sure that Sutter's prices aren't at least double or triple that. The base office visit is 180. Of course, if they take tests or anything, I'm sure it would be more. —AmandaAbughosh

2010-11-03 16:16:22   Patients who have no form of health coverage are asked to pay for services provided according to a sliding fee scale. The minimum amount on the sliding scale is $30 for an office visit, not $180. You can confirm this for yourself by calling the clinic. —JohnBonner
