Costs and Coverage
What you pay here is worked out from your household income and family size, not read off a price list. The bands are set by Columbus Neighborhood Health Center rather than nationally, which is why prices differ between two clinics on the same scale. Ask for your band in writing before agreeing to a course of treatment. Our guide to applying for the discount lists the documents to bring.
This clinic has a Medicaid billing registration on file, which is a good sign but not a guarantee for your particular plan. Adult dental coverage under Ohio Medicaid is decided at state level and has changed more than once in most states; children’s dental coverage is required everywhere. The Medicaid dental page covers how to check yours.
Dental Providers at This Clinic
Alongside general dentistry, providers registered in pediatric dentistry, for children practice at this address. That is not the same as the clinic taking new patients for those treatments, or the discount covering them, so name the treatment when you call.
Planning Your Visit
2300 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43204
The published number is 614-645-2300. Where an organization runs several sites this often lands at a central desk, so name the clinic and say the appointment is dental.
The call is worth making for: the dental hours, and which days appointments run, whether new dental patients are being taken, and the current wait, what a first visit costs, before and after any discount, and what to bring for the sliding fee application.
Common Questions
Can I get an itemized receipt?
Yes, and ask for one. You need it to claim from an HSA or FSA, to apply to a charitable program, and to get a second opinion on the same plan of work. A receipt that says only a total is not much use for any of those.
What if I have no income at all?
Health centers deal with this routinely and have a procedure for applicants who cannot document income — usually a signed declaration. Being unable to prove income is not a reason to stay away; say so when you call so they can tell you what to bring instead.
Do they do root canals, or would I be referred out?
This is the question worth asking before anything else if you already know you need one. Health centers commonly do extractions in-house and refer root canals to a private endodontist at full price, which changes the arithmetic completely. Ask before you start treatment, not after.
Is the discount worked out on gross income or take-home pay?
Normally gross, before tax and deductions, which surprises people who budget by what lands in the account. Ask which figure this clinic uses and over what period, because a year that included a few months of higher earnings can put you in a band that does not reflect what you have now.
Can I book online?
This clinic publishes a website, linked at the top of this page, and some health centers take dental requests through a portal or a form. Calling is still usually faster for dental, because the dental schedule is often held separately from the one an online form writes into.
Do I have to be a registered patient first?
Some clinics require you to register with the health center before booking dental, which adds a step and sometimes a separate appointment. Ask about that on the first call so you are not turned back at the desk.
Other Clinics Operated by Columbus Neighborhood Health Center
Columbus Neighborhood Health Center operates 2 other clinics elsewhere in Ohio. A central scheduling line can often say which of them has the shortest wait, and it is not always the nearest one. Once your discount is assessed at one of its sites, the others normally honor it without a second application. What is treated at one site is no guide to another, so confirm with the clinic you actually intend to visit.
