Confidentiality is very important. The Noble County Health Department will not release health information without our client's knowledge unless we are required by law.

No one is refused services based on inability to pay.

For those without insurance, a sliding scale, based on number in household and income, is used to determine fees.

For those with insurance, we provide third party billing. Based on your insurance plan, you may be responsible for deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurances for fees not covered by your insurance company.
