Toe River Health District FAQs
How do I become a patient at Toe River Health District?
To become a patient at Toe River, just give us a call. We have two locations to serve you. As an FYI, you may be asked to provide some personal and insurance information when you schedule your appointment with us.
Do I need to have proof of insurance?
No you do not need insurance. Our health clinics are committed to providing quality care for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We have a sliding fee scale for people who are uninsured or underinsured, whose incomes are below 200% of the federal poverty level. We consider your family size and your income when using the sliding fee scale. Fees for services will be reduced based on the sliding fee scale at both health clinics. To apply for our sliding fee scale, you will need to provide proof of income and family size. Eligibility is extended to all patients, regardless of other medical coverage. Patients may be insured and still qualify for a sliding fee.
I don’t have a car. Is there a way I can still access Toe River Health District services?

Do you conduct annual physicals?
Yes, we do. An annual physical is a comprehensive medical examination that is typically performed once a year to assess a person’s overall health and identify any potential health issues and we highly recommend it.
Do you take walk-ins?
