The Clinic Community Care Program includes care given in Fairview's free-standing clinics. It does not cover care received in hospitals, which is covered under Fairview Hospital Community Care and Patient Discount Program.

Clinic Community Care is part of Fairview's mission to provide quality medical services to everyone in our community. We treat all patients with dignity and respect, regardless of their ability to pay.

Services Covered

Clinic Community Care covers charges for most of our services. However, it does not cover charges for:

• care that is not medically necessary (e.g., experimental treatments or care considered unnecessary by a Fairview doctor).
• care that we do not offer at Fairview 
• services given at Fairview by independent contractors 
• physician services not billed by Fairview 
• services given to people who do not live in Minnesota
