Access to Care
The Office of Community Health is also an intake site for Access to Care. Access to Care helps adults in Suburban Cook County and northwest Chicago who:
- Do not have health insurance
- Have health insurance, but pay a high deductible of $1,500 or more
- Are not eligible for public health programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid (due to immigration status or other reasons)
Access to Care serves those individuals who are not eligible for public health programs, i.e., CountyCare, All Kids, FamilyCare, Medicaid and Medicare.** This includes individuals who do not meet the immigration status requirement of being a legal resident for five (5) years or more. It serves individuals with family incomes under 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. It can be used as a supplement to high deductible insurance plans. http://www.accesstocare.org/
