1. 1 (one) month of income documentation for each person earning money in household: paystubs, unemployment, Social Security, or any other income. Please provide a letter of support if someone outside the household is providing for daily expenses.
2. Please provide paystubs for most recent month. If you are paid in cash, please provide a signed, dated letter from your employer describing your work and monthly pay. - Any clinics where you have been seen in the last year (including Lincoln, Walltown, Holton, Lyon Park, Healthcare for the Homeless, VA, or any doctor’s office)

When you have gathered these proofs, please call our new patient line at 919-407-8154. Leave your name, date of birth, and a working telephone number that accepts messages. We will leave you one (1) message to schedule an intake appointment.
At your intake appointment, we will review your paperwork, verify eligibility, and sign new patient documents.

Patients who miss an appointment without prior notification will have one opportunity to reschedule. It is your responsibility to contact us. After a second no show, we may discharge you from our practice.
