Question 2

Can I go to an FQHC in Yukon without insurance?

Question 4

What does an FQHC visit cost in Yukon?

Accepted Answer

For uninsured patients, sliding-scale fees typically range from a $20–$25 nominal fee at the lowest income tier up to "full charge" (similar to private market rates) at higher tiers.
