Services are no cost to you with or without insurance.  Staff will ask for your insurance information if you are insured, but Kind Clinic does not bill your insurance company for any services.  Kind Clinic only collects insurance information so that your Patient Advocates can work with your insurance provider to cover the cost of any medications.  If you do not currently have insurance coverage, they will work with you to get you enrolled in a patient assistance program that ensures your medications are covered at little to no cost.  

Kind Clinic tests for HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.  Test results are uploaded into your Kind Clinic patient portal within 3-5 business days.  If your test result is positive, a Kind Clinic representative will call you to schedule a follow-up appointment for treatment.  If you’re currently experiencing STI symptoms or know you’ve been exposed to an STI, schedule an HIV & STI Testing appointment and clinical staff can provide you testing and treatment at the same time.
