About Claxton Elementary School
Claxton Elementary School is a federally qualified health center (FQHC) located in Asheville, NC. Fees are assessed on a sliding scale based on household income — uninsured patients below 200% of the federal poverty line typically pay a nominal fee of $0–$30 per visit. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, commercial insurance, and uninsured patients.
Community Health Centers like Claxton Elementary School play a critical role in serving Black families and other historically underserved populations. They are required by federal rule to accept patients regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they integrate medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services in a single location.
