Our aim is to provide as comprehensive a visit as possible. To do this, we work with local and national grant agencies to provide as many labs onsite as we can. There are times in which the needed information can not be provided through our labs. Through a partnership with Cox Medical, Branson we are able to refer patients for additional labs.
Yes, when a patient presents as needing a specialist, our medical team will refer out accordingly. Through relationships with both Cox and Mercy we are able to both refer and work with the referring physician to provide access to medications and follow up at our clinic.
Spouses and dependents 18 years or older of employees can be eligible for membership. Participation in FaithCare is exclusively the decision of the employer. If a business chooses to add the spouse it is the responsibility of the business to submit the spouse's name and additional payment according to the total number of employees in the month.

The medication room operates through a series of grants, making access to medications possible. The funding requires all patients to submit income statements in order to see if they qualify for services. The limits are generous, but from time to time individuals are denied due to additional household income. The income structure is as follows:
Family Size Income Limit
1 $40,770
2 $54,930
3 $69,090
4 $83,250
5 $97,410
6 $111,570
7 $125,730
8 $139,890
There are occasions where the cost to purchase the medication limits the ability to purchase it. Faith Community Health encourages patients who have catastrophic insurance to work with our staff to determine if they are still eligible for medications through the clinic as these tend to be on a case by case basis.
Our medication room is able to provide for all the medications a patient is prescribed for only $10 per month. For example, a patient who is diabetic will need anywhere between 3 and 6 medications in a month, based on the disease progression. Our medication room is able to provide what would be around $800 in medications monthly to an uninsured individual for just $10. A true savings.
