Yakima Neighborhood Health Services Services is committed to making health care accessible and affordable, so we have partnered with WashingtonHealthPlanFinder to help you find low or no cost health coverage.
If you’ve lost coverage due to the pandemic, you now have more time to get covered under a Special Enrollment Period that starts Aug. 17-Sept. 30.
Our trained Navigators help you review plans to decide which medical and dental plans are best for you, your family and your budget. Call for help: (509) 853-2377 or email: navigators@ynhs.org
We can often sign you up by the end of the phone call.

State and Federal Health Plans
Our Navigators can help you determine if you qualify for state or federal health plans like Medicaid for low-income families or Medicare for those about to turn 65 or older.

We Treat Everyone
At Yakima Neighborhood Health Services, we provide provide primary health care — medical, dental, behavioral health — regardless of your ability to pay.
We accept Medicaid, Medicare and most private health insurance plans and offer discounts to qualifying, uninsured individuals. Discounts are calculated based on income.
The discounts are known as the sliding fee scale, which is designed to minimize financial barriers to care for patients at or below 200 percent of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG). The guidelines are annual income levels below which a person or family is considered to be living in poverty. https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/federal-poverty-level-fpl/
