Between 50 and 60 percent of the uninsured live in Cook County. Most are unable to afford even basic health care services. The Access to Care program allows access to basic health care services for uninsured suburban Cook County residents with limited income. Demonstration projects are operational in two suburban areas. The northwest demonstration area, where the program became operational in December, 1988, includes the townships of Barrington, Elk Grove, Hanover, Maine, Palatine, Scha~m~urg and Wheeling. The south demonstration area became operational in May, 1989 includes the townships of Rich and Bloom. Any resident of the demonstration area with a family income less than twice the poverty level who is uninsured for primary health care and ineligible for public programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare, may enroll in the program. Enrollees will be able to obtain primary health care services from participating Access To Care providers and pay only a small co-payment to providers. Covered services include physician office visits, routine laboratory, x-ray and pharmacy services. Access to Care physicians are family practice, internal medicine, and pediatric specialists who see clients in private office settings with the exception of the arrangement between the Council and the Lutheran General Medical Group where clients are cared for at the Nessett Health Center in Park Ridge. Registration is at Township offices; the Villages of Mt. Prospect, Schaumburg and Des Plaines; CEDA offices; the Cook County Department of Public Health in Rolling Meadows and Markham; and the Park Forest Health Department. Eligible clients are able to select a first, second, and third choice Access to Care physician at the time of registration. Appointments can be made with the first choice physician immediately. The client copy of the registration form serves as a temporary (thirty day) patient identification. Within thirty days, after Council staff verifies the absence of health insurance coverage, a permanent (one year) identification card is mailed to the client. Physicians submit monthly reports and clients complete a questionnaire which provide data for evaluation. Clients receive resource inventories for preventive services available through community agencies which are free or low cost. The Council has coordination agreements with these agencies. These materials, along with the questionnaire, are in english and spanish.
