Non-Discrimination Policy
ICT Street Team is committed to equal care for all our patients. Our Patient Non-Discrimination Policy was established to protect the well-being of every patient under our care.
Patients are seen without regard to the patient’s age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture/creed, language, physical or mental disability, socioeconomic status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. As a safety net clinic, we provide services free of charge to those experiencing homelessness without regard to ability to pay. We serve on our patients' terms, not ours.

Sliding Fee Scale Policy
ICT Street Team provides healthcare services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness in accordance with the current HUD definition, with no healthcare benefits, and that have a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guideline. All services are provided to eligible patients free of charge regardless of their ability to pay for services (please see sliding fee scale). Individuals covered under insurance plans from KanCare, Medicare, Group Coverages or other insurances are referred to another health care agency.
The ICT Street Team provides primary healthcare services to those experiencing homelessness using a mobile medical model to deliver care at the point of contact. By focusing on their mission “Serving on their terms, not ours” the ICT Street Team strives to remove the multiple barriers that often cause our homeless citizens to miss opportunities to meet their own healthcare needs.
