A Free Healthcare Network for the
Working Uninsured
AccessHealth, a program managed by
Great Basin Primary Care Association, links the working
uninsured residents of Nevada to an affordable network of health
care providers and community resources. This program
assists community members with access to a coordinated and
efficient system of care for the uninsured at significantly
reduced fees from our generous network of providers.

Are you or your family members without medical
insurance? Paying "Out of Pocket" for needed
medical care?
AccessHealth membership and services are free.
This is NOT an insurance company, but a non-profit
community service which links you to a network of
generous health care providers offering our members
significantly reduced fees for medical care. Our
members who are paying "out of Pocket" for their care
save money and receive assistance from our team of case
managers and referral specialist.
The goal of AccessHealth is to
coordinate application assistance in
public programs and AccessHealth
membership. Members are assigned to a
medical home and specialty referrals
that make a broader range of reduced
health care services available. This
frees up health care providers and their
staff and gives them more time to spend
on patient care.

You may think that the uninsured only
live in certain areas of Nevada, or that
we are not all impacted. Or even worse,
you may ask, “Why should I care?” We must
all care.
The harsh reality is
that the uninsured are our friends,
co-workers and neighbors and those who
are impacted by loss of jobs, illness,
or part-time jobs and employers who do not
offer coverage.
Many uninsured
families and individuals find themselves with no
other way to get needed care except to visit the
over crowded emergency rooms when they are sick.
AccessHealth members enroll in a primary care home
where they receive comprehensive and quality health
care at a price they can afford. This allows
them to have preventative care and manage chronic
disease which saves money in their future and helps
to have a healthier life.
AccessHealth CORE VALUES
and PRINCIPLES
|
There are no fees to our members for our
services. As working uninsured, most
AccessHealth members struggle to
participate in the cost of their
healthcare even at these reduced
rates. In order to continue assisting
the members, grow the network of
providers and sustain the program,
we
need your help.

The Program Expands! |
|
Today, the program is expanding to Phase
2 from the
successful pilot project located and
serving qualified uninsured citizens in
the southern part of Nevada.
With the assistance of a generous community,
AccessHealth will serve 12,000 working uninsured
citizens by 2009.

Jorge works
hard repairing electrical engines. He cannot afford
health insurance for his wife and three children.
Today
Jorge and his family can afford health care services,
thanks to their AccessHealth membership. The children
are now part of a free immunization program and
pediatric physicals offered to the community twice a
month. They all have primary care, medicines, dental
services and specialty services at a price they can
afford. Jorge says that being members of AccessHealth
links his family with safe and affordable medical
services. This gives him the peace of mind that he
needed. He wants to thank all the people at
AccessHealth for their wonderful work! |
