About Semcac Clinic
Services are non-judgmental, affordable, confidential and professional. All medical services are performed by a clinician.
We are a sliding fee clinic
Many patients who come to Semcac Clinic are eligible for the Minnesota Family Planning Program (MFPP) or the Wisconsin Family Planning Only Services Program (WFPOS) , which provide free family planning services, including free birth control and yearly exams.
For those who are not eligible for the MFPP or WFPOS, we provide low-cost services based on a sliding fee scale (depending upon your income). Also, we accept many forms of health insurance (see below).
And, We DO ACCEPT Health Insurance
Whether you have health insurance or not, Semcac Clinic is here to help. If you do have health insurance, great! We accept many types of insurance and can bill them for your visit. Note: We are not able to bill to Dean or Medicare health insurance at this time. (If you are utilizing your parent’s health insurance, your parents will receive a copy of the charges from the insurance company. If you do not utilize your parent’s policy, that is OK too.) Please contact your health insurance provider to find out if services at Semcac Clinic are covered by your policy.
Semcac Clinic provides health services for everyone

Patient Portal
Semcac Clinic is now offering a patient portal. What is a patient portal? It is a secure, online website providing convenient 24 hour access to your personal health information from anywhere with an internet connection. Using your secure username and password or PIN, you can view your health information such as: recent visit summary notes, send messages to your clinician, share information with other doctors, find information about your prescription and medications, immunizations, allergies, lab results, etc. You will be able to view your lab results once your physician has approved them for posting to the portal. The physician will likely review the labs before posting the information. Please allow a approximately a week for labs to become available on the portal.
The NEW patient portal is called MyQuest, hosted from Quest Quanum. IT is secure, free for patients to use and very convenient! There is even an app so you can quickly access from any mobile device, search for MyQuest in the App store.
