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 it is estimated
that nearly 100,000 individuals are uninsured and unable to afford
even basic health care services.
The Access to Care program provides access to primary health care
for uninsured suburban Cook County residents with low income.
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 as 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 Access to Care. Services include office visits to a primary
care physician, routine laboratory and x-ray services and
prescription drugs.
In the northwest suburbs screening for eligibility and enrollment
occur at township offices; the Villages of Mt. Prospect, Scha~mhurg
and Des Plaines; CEDA Northwest; Meadows Community Services; and
Cook County Department of Public Health. Enrollment is for a one-
year period, and there is no charge to enroll. Clients pay a small
co-payment ($3.00 or $5.00) directly to providers for each visit,
lab test, x-ray or prescription .drug.
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 preventive services available in the area
which are free or low cost. The Council has coordination
agreements with the agencies providing these services.
