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 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 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.
