Becoming a member of the AccessHealth Program does not have a cost to the qualified persons who find themselves without medical insurance.  The program is a non-profit service provided by health care organizations, government agencies and the community. 

Here are the simple membership requirements:

As a resident of Nevada you or members of your family have no medical insurance and do not qualify for Medicare, Medicaid or Nevada Check-Up.  If you do qualify for one of the public insurance programs, we can assist you in the application process.  

 

You or members of your family have a job so that you can pay for the reduced medical fees for the health care you need.  The services provided are not free, but will offer care at a greatly reduced cost.  Those services must be paid by the member to the provider at the time of service.  Note:  For those who are part of one of our special programs such as Community Health Center patients needing specialty care or those in the Ryan White program - the employment requirement may be waived. 
 

Your family's income fits in the chart provided.  Just look at how many people are in your household and compare the total annual income in the chart below.  If that amount is between the "from" - "to" amounts shown in the chart - you qualify to become a member!
 

 

Fill out the simple application.  You will then be contacted by the enrollment staff at AccessHealth.  If you do not already have a primary care doctor, you will select one from our network!  It will be great to have a primary care home that you can afford.  No more sitting through the long wait at the local emergency rooms for the primary care you need.  

How It Works: Affordable Quality Care

Once you are a member in AccessHealth and are assigned a primary care home you are on the road to leading a healthier life. 

AccessHealth gives you an I.D. card that identifies to the provider that you are to receive the negotiated fees for AccessHealth members.  Providers expect payment at time of service for you to receive the full benefits of your membership. 

Your primary care physician will refer you to specialty care or diagnostic tests if necessary. The AccessHealth staff will assist in coordinating your appointments.
