Testing in Clinic
The Denver Sexual Health Clinic is a reduced fee clinic. Some of the services provided are assessed a fee. Services are not dependent on the ability to pay. Clinic staff will inform patients of any fees due during the check-in process.
Acceptable payment methods are cash, Visa, or MasterCard. We accept most types of insurance, and as of February 1, 2023 we do collect co-pays. We do not mail bills to your home. You may get an explanation of benefits (EOB) from your insurance company after your visit.
Patients age 18 and under can be seen without fees.
- Routine testing (persons without any symptoms):
- For persons without insurance and over age 19, cost of testing will be $20-$90 based on a sliding scale.
- STD concerns and symptoms, treatment, family planning:
- For persons without insurance and over age 19, fees for services are based on a sliding scale fee schedule and may range from $0-$90.
Our clinic offers appointments for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), women seeking birth control options and routine testing as well. Please call 303-602-3540 to make an appointment.
- Check-in: Get a number and paperwork from the front desk and hang onto them. We use numbers in our clinic to keep clients names confidential while in the waiting area. Have your photo ID ready. Check-in staff will see you first to determine what tests you need and assess the cost of your visit. We may need to draw blood and collect a urine sample from you.
- Provider Visit: Your provider will ask questions to get a better idea of what additional tests you might need. The more we understand about you, the better we can help you. This visit may also include a physical exam. You may spend 30-60 minutes with the provider. If you are experiencing intimate partner violence, please talk to one of our medical providers during your visit. They can provide you with counseling and additional community resources for assistance.
- Results and Treatment: We often make a diagnosis during your exam, and you may receive medication right away. If test results are not ready at the time of your visit, you will need to call the result line at 303-602-3540 between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or check MyChart.denverhealth.org for your results. If you don’t have a MyChart account, your nurse will give you login instructions. If you have a positive test result and did not receive medication at your visit, you will need to return to the clinic for treatment at no additional cost.
The Denver Sexual Health Clinic provides evaluation and testing for many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Your clinician will determine the appropriate tests for you. Most, but not all STDs are treated in the clinic. If needed, clinic staff can connect individuals to other sources of care.
