Medicaid is accepted, however we do not bill private insurance.  For children a sliding scale fee is available based on income, and no child will be turned away for inability to pay.  For more information about services at the Union County Health Department, please call 642-0801 Ext. 10 or long distance calls toll free 1-888-333-9461 Ext. 10.  The Union County Health Department is located at 621 S.
