Income (per month)
Notes:
Ubuntu Clinic is a people’s clinic, dedicated to reinvesting every dollar we earn — beyond our monthly expenses — directly back into patient care.
We expect to serve about 20 patients per week (approximately 80 per month). With Medi-Cal reimbursing an average of $95 per visit, we can cover all of our essential monthly expenses — even before factoring in donations, lab and medication reimbursements, or patient cash payments.
However, we anticipate that about 20% of our patients will be uninsured. Ubuntu Clinic is committed to ensuring that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. We cover the full cost of visits and necessary laboratory tests for uninsured patients, and — whenever our budget allows — we also cover the cost of common prescription medications and even transportation to care.
This commitment is possible through the generosity of our supporters and through the principle of wealth redistribution, with contributions from patients who are able to pay helping to support those who cannot.
You can join us in sustaining this work by contributing to our ongoing fundraiser or signing up for a monthly donation here.
