Here are some options for your consideration:
We Screen for Alternative Resources
- Medicaid
- Children’s Health Insurance Program
- Essential Plan
- Qualified Health Plan
- Medicare
- Medicare Savings Program
- Extra Help Medicare Prescription Program
Please have the following information with you when applying for health insurance:
- Unemployment verification
- Birthdates/Social Security numbers for all household members, even if they are not applying
- Know your tax filing status/who you will claim as a tax dependent/who may claim you as a tax dependent
- All household income verification including employment, last 4 weeks earned wages, social security/551 income verification letter
- If self-employed, need last 3 months of income
- Private pension verification
A patient receiving Direct Only care at our facility will be responsible for all off-site expenses associated with hospital emergency rooms, urgent care centers, in-patient hospitalization and medical specialty providers. It is imperative that our Direct Only patients carry health insurance, without interruption.
