Notwithstanding the provisions of § 63.1-325, credits granted to a clinic organized in whole or in part for the delivery of health care services without charge, or to a clinic operated not for profit providing health care services for charges not exceeding those set forth in a scale prescribed by the State Board of Health pursuant to § 32.1-11 for charges to be paid by persons based upon ability to pay, may be assigned by the clinic to physicians and dentists who are licensed pursuant to Title 54.1 and who provide health care services without charge within the scope of their licensure at the clinic.
