Becoming A Patient PDF Print E-mail

MobileMed has 23 health clinics located throughout Montgomery County operating at regularly scheduled times in churches, government buildings, public housing facilities, medical office buildings and on our three fully-equipped mobile medical vans (“MOBY”, “HUMMY”, and “ARNIE”). Days and times of clinic operations vary to offer the most options to our patients. Some clinics require appointments, while others offer walk-in service – MobileMed is the only health care provider in the County offering such an option. All clinics operate on a sliding fee scale based on the patient’s family income, size, and ability to pay.

MobileMed has never turned away a patient due to his or her inability to pay.

  • Live in Montgomery County or be a client of the Mobile Medical Care community partner agency that is hosting a particular clinic site
  • Provide documentation of your identification and of your current address
No patient is denied service at Mobile Medical Care because of his or her living situation or legal status.

Acceptable form of identification includes, but is not limited to:
  • A Drivers License
  • A passport
  • Other picture identification, as supplied by a community agency
Acceptable documentation of current residence includes, but is not limited to:

Problem Tooth Leads To Help For Other Ailments
thumb_photo1-bg.jpgBrian, 41, recently came to one of MobileMed's new homeless clinics complaining of a severe toothache. He had not seen a doctor in several years. Focusing on the acute condition, the provider connected Brian with a dentist through Montgomery County's Oral Health Initiative. After Brian's abscessed tooth was extracted, he returned to MobileMed for further assessments and screenings. Diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, he is currently under our care for his chronic conditions and is comfortable with his medical team.
 
We Are Growing

The  recently created position of Clinic Support Services Coordinator reflects the importance MobileMed places on efficient service that meets the highest standards of quality and productivity.

With the assistance of our many community partners, MobileMed now offers translation services and patient materials in Spanish, Chinese, Korean, French, and Farsi. In addition more than 70% of MobileMed clinical staff and numerous volunteers speak more than one language. All staff are proficient at using the language line phone translation service at all of our clinic locations. Staff or volunteers who speak the native language of the patients are available at all of our clinic locations.

We continue to provide free flu, pneumovax, and tetanus vaccinations at our clinics and homeless shelters to record numbers of patients.
