EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Access to Care Program
In Illinois, 1.5 million persons are without public or private
health insurance coverage. In suburban Cook County more than
124,000 low-income individuals are uninsured and unable to afford
even basic health care services.
The Access to Care program provides access to primary care services
for low-income, uninsured residents of suburban Cook County.
Eligibility is limited to residents with a family income less than
twice the federal poverty level who are uninsured for primary
health care and ineligible for public programs such Medicaid and
Medicare.
The Council contracts with local providers throughout the area and
pays them a discounted rate to provide services to persons enrolled
in the Access to Care program. Services include office visits to
a primary care physician, routine laboratory and radiology tests
and prescription medication. Patients make a small co-payment
directly to the provider for each service.
In the northwest suburbs screening for eligibility and enrollment
occur at township offices, at the Villages of Mount Prospect, Des
Plaines, and Schaumhurg, at CEDA Northwest and Meadows Community
Services, and at the Cook County Department of Public Health.
Enrollment is generally for a one-year period and there is no fee
to enroll.
Preventive services which are already available in the community
at low cost are not duplicated by Access to Care. All clients
receive a booklet listing free or low-cost preventive services
available in the area. The Council has coordination agreements
with the organizations providing these services.
