If you do not have insurance, you can still see a doctor in New Haven. Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and free clinics provide primary care, checkups, prescriptions, and many specialty services on a sliding scale, so the cost is based on what you can afford.
The clinics below are the verified primary-care options in our New Haven directory. Many are taking new patients, and some offer walk-in or convenient-care hours. If you are not sure where to start, call any of them or dial 211.
Resource details below come from the live directory. Call the provider to confirm hours, openings, and eligibility before you go.
Who can get help
FQHCs and free clinics see patients regardless of insurance, income, or immigration status. Fees slide with your income, and visits can be free for those with the lowest incomes. If you might qualify for HUSKY/Medicaid, clinic staff can often help you apply on the spot.

Check if you qualify for HUSKY
Use our Benefits Check tool or ask the clinic to help you apply for HUSKY/Medicaid, which would cover future visits.
