Outagamie County Walk-In Clinic, Eligibility for Services

The Walk-In Clinic is designed to connect eligible children and adults to counseling and/or psychiatric services.

Eligibility for Services:  To qualify for services, you must be an Outagamie County resident (valid proof required), have Medical Assistance (MA), Medicare or be uninsured.

If you have private insurance (including VA or Tribal insurance), you are not eligible for County services (even if you also have MA).

Hours: Monday- Friday 10 AM-4 PM

  • The Walk-In Clinic is a first-come, first-serve clinic, making wait times be unpredictable.  If there is a long wait time, you may complete as much of the process as you are able and return a different day to complete the process.
  • If you arrive close to 4 PM, there is a chance you will not be seen that day by the therapist due to the clinic closing at 4 PM.  On average, it takes a minimum of 1 1/2 hours to complete the process.
  • If you are a minor or have a guardian, they must be present to sign paperwork and consent to services.
  • We recommend that you call us before arriving for the Walk-In Clinic to ensure the clinic is open.  You may also call to check how busy it is before arriving.   Please contact us at 920-832-5270.
  • Under no circumstances can medications be prescribed until your appointment with the psychiatrist/APNP.
