In addition to the primary care clinics and specialty clinics specified in Section 1204, clinics eligible for licensure pursuant to this chapter include psychology clinics. A “psychology clinic” is a clinic which provides psychological advice, services, or treatment to patients, under the direction of a clinical psychologist as defined in Section 1316.5, and is operated by a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation which is supported and maintained in whole or in part by donations, bequests, gifts, grants, government funds, or contributions which may be in the form of money, goods, or services. In a psychology clinic, any charges to the patient shall be based on the patient’s ability to pay, utilizing a sliding fee scale. No corporation other than a nonprofit corporation, exempt from federal taxation under paragraph (3), subsection (c) of Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, or a statutory successor thereof, shall operate a psychology clinic.
Each psychology clinic licensed pursuant to this section shall comply with the provisions of Part 2 (commencing with Section 13100) of Division 12.
Only a psychology clinic may be licensed under this chapter to exclusively provide psychological advice, services, or treatment. However, nothing in this subdivision precludes clinics specified in Section 1204 from providing psychological advice, services, or treatment as included within, or adjunctive to, medical advice, services, or treatment provided by such clinics. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section may be grounds for denial, revocation, or suspension of the license.
