Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

The no-fee structure at Beaverhead County Public Health Department applies across every service on the roster: testing, treatment, vaccines, and family planning alike. That scope means cost doesn't determine which services someone can actually use on a given visit.

Interpretation Services Extend to All Languages

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at Beaverhead County Public Health Department, which means counseling, consent, and follow-up care can proceed in the language a person communicates in. Nothing in the clinical conversation requires a workaround.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

As a Title X-funded site, Beaverhead County Public Health Department provides family planning services to minors with legally-confidential protections. Meaning the care record stays separate from any parental insurance or billing, a guarantee built into federal Title X statute rather than clinic policy.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 148 reviews

Barrett Hospital & HealthCare Clinic in Dillon tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and the full hepatitis panel, treating bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee open to anyone: walk-ins welcome, with Spanish and interpretation services on hand.

Read full overview Show less

Herpes and Hepatitis Aren't Add-On Tests

The standard STI panel at most clinics tops out at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: herpes and hepatitis require a separate appointment, a different lab, or a specialist. Barrett Hospital & HealthCare Clinic runs herpes and the full hepatitis panel (A, B, and C) alongside the core four, so a single visit returns a genuinely complete picture.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at Barrett

A hepatitis C diagnosis without treatment access can mean months of waiting, a second provider to find, a separate appointment to book, insurance approvals to navigate. Barrett Hospital & HealthCare Clinic carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, so the gap between knowing and managing the infection closes at the same facility where the test was run.

Spanish Speakers and Interpretation Services Supported Here

For someone navigating an STI test without fluent English (reading paperwork, understanding a result, asking about a treatment plan) Barrett Hospital & HealthCare Clinic's standing Spanish-language capacity and broader interpretation services mean that conversation happens fully and accurately, not approximated.

STDs & HIV in Beaverhead County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Beaverhead County, the county that includes Dillon, compare with Montana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~40% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Confidentiality & consent in Montana

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Montana law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Montana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Montana permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
