The Walk-in Clinic charges the same fees as the HRRMC Buena Vista Health Center charges during their normal business hours. The Buena Vista Health Center participates in Medicare and Health First Colorado (Medicaid). It is also a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and Colorado Health Service Corps (CHSC) site.

As an NHSC and CHSC site, the clinic offers a sliding-fee payment scale for self-pay and uninsured patients based on income and family size. It is the policy of the HRRMC Buena Vista Health Center to provide essential services regardless of a patient's ability to pay.
