Affordable Medication

YOUR MEDICINE, FOR FREE

Uninsured patients of MCMC may enroll by completing a sliding fee application. For more information call (423) 346-6221.

ETHRA

NEED A RIDE?

Morgan County Medical Center has an agreement with ETHRA to provide transportation from the patient’s home in Morgan County to our office, paid by MCMC, not the patient. We want to make sure that no patient faces a transportation barrier when seeking care at our office.  Call (423) 346-6221 for more information.

*Please call 5 days prior to appointment to schedule a ride.
