107                <h1>About Free Clinic Directory</h1>
108                <p>Free Clinic Directory helps people find free, charitable, community, low-cost, and sliding-scale healthcare providers across the United States.</p>
109                <p>Our goal is to help people without insurance, people with limited coverage, and anyone facing cost barriers identify possible sources of care and understand what to ask before visiting.</p>
110                <h2>What You Can Find</h2>
111                <p>The directory may include free and charitable clinics, community health centers, FQHCs and Look-Alikes, public-health clinics, dental and behavioral-health clinics, mobile and student-run clinics, hospital-affiliated outpatient programs, and other qualifying nonprofit or public providers.</p>
112                <p>Not every provider uses the same payment model. Some offer selected care without charge; others use sliding-fee discounts, reduced fees, insurance billing, or a combination.</p>
113                <h2>What "Free" and "Low-Cost" Mean</h2>
114                <p>A listing does not guarantee all care is free. A provider may limit free care to eligible patients, request a donation, charge a reduced fee, use a sliding-fee schedule, bill insurance, or charge separately for tests, medications, procedures, imaging, or referrals.</p>
115                <h2>How Listings Are Added</h2>
116                <p>Information may come from clinic staff, official websites, government sources, community organizations, patients, or existing records requiring review. New listings and suggested changes are moderated.</p>
117                <h2>Verification</h2>
118                <p>Verification may involve an official website, government source, authorized clinic submission, or direct contact. "Managed by clinic staff" and "Recently verified" are different labels. A claimed listing is not automatically independently verified.</p>
119                <h2>Keeping Information Current</h2>
120                <p>Clinics can change hours, pause intake, revise eligibility, relocate, or close. Visitors and clinic staff can use Suggest an Update; changes remain pending until reviewed.</p>
121                <h2>What We Do Not Do</h2>
122                <p>Free Clinic Directory does not operate clinics, schedule appointments, determine eligibility, guarantee free care, provide medical advice, or act as an emergency service.</p>
123                <h2>Editorial Independence</h2>
124                <p>Inclusion is not an endorsement. Paid advertising remains separate from listing and editorial decisions and does not control verification status or corrections.
