Who is Eligible for Care?
The Outpatient Center provides care to Greenwich residents who are uninsured or underinsured and fall within government poverty guidelines. We also treat patients who have in-network insurance plans for Behavioral Health services, as well as Medicaid or Medicare.

To determine whether you are eligible, please call 203-863-3408. You may be asked some preliminary questions over the phone, such as:

• Do you require immediate care for a medical condition?
• What kind of services do you need?
• Do you have insurance?
• Where do you live?
• What income or assets do you have?

Based on your answers, you may be scheduled to meet with a financial assessment advisor at the Outpatient Center. You will be asked to bring several forms of documentation to this financial evaluation, such as proof of residency, income and assets. A complete list of requirements will be mailed to you once the appointment is scheduled. We will notify you within a seven to ten days after your appointment if you are eligible for care.
