Where to find low-cost health care in the Atlanta metro

Every week, Maria says she gets about 10 calls from people asking where they can see a doctor to see them for free, or at least at an affordable cost. Maria, who asked 285 South to use a pseudonym to protect her privacy, has been supporting low income Latino community members in the Atlanta area for years. Most of the people she helps, she said, don’t have health insurance.  “I’ve seen that there is a lot of need in the community,” she said in Spanish. 

The United States’ healthcare landscape is already challenging—and it’s about to get even trickier, for immigrant communities and many others. President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act implements work requirements nationwide for those seeking to access Medicaid—the government program that provides health insurance to people with limited incomes—and requires states to verify individuals’ work status at least every six months, as opposed to yearly.

 And starting in October 2026, Medicaid will be restricted to a limited list of documented immigrants; some groups, such as refugees and asylum-seekers, may no longer qualify. Other groups will no longer be eligible to obtain Medicaid, Medicare, or subsidized private insurance through Affordable Care Act marketplaces, including survivors of domestic violence with a pending or approved application for lawful status under the Violence Against Women Act; survivors of trafficking with a pending or approved T visa; and people with Temporary Protected Status. 

All together, the number of people in the U.S. without health insurance will grow by 10.9 million by 2034, with roughly 310,00 of those people living in Georgia, according to an analysis by KFF Health. In addition, the National Immigration Law Center explains, the bill adds restrictions to federally funded programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which will limit the ability of some immigrants legally in the U.S. to access healthcare and food assistance – a lifeline for many just finding their feet in a new country.

The need for free or low-cost healthcare is only going to grow;  Maria says she’s already noticed an increase in the number of calls she’s fielding from people looking for low-cost healthcare. So, to help metro Atlanta residents find what is out there in an ever-shrinking landscape, we compiled this guide to health clinics in the metro area that provide low- or no-cost care to all patients, regardless of their legal status.
