PROJECT ACCESS WASHINGTON COUNTY

Physicians and Health Care Providers

General Information

Project Access Works

Project Access is a nationally replicated model that uses a coordinated volunteer physician network to provide health care to low-income uninsured individuals. Project Access coordinates care for people with an identified medical need who do not have health insurance, do not qualify for publicly funded coverage, and have income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.

Physician Leaders

Project Access is a physician-led initiative. We rely on the expertise of those who know best how to treat patients, and help allow physicians “the freedom to focus on healing.”

Project Acces knows that many physicians decide to practice medicine because they want to be of service to others. Project Access Washington County celebrates this altruism and offers a way to make a difference in our community, in a way that is organized, safe and equitable.

Making it Easy

Project Access makes it easier to serve the uninsured. Project Access Washington County patients will have access to medications, hospitalizations, lab testing, diagnostic imaging and other ancillary services. The Project Access system is designed to allow you to order tests, schedule hospitalizations and care for your uninsured patient in a manner very similar to the process for caring for insured patients.

Project Access uses a database that tracks the number of referrals offered by each physician and equitably distributes these between volunteers in each specialty on a yearly basis. You will not be asked to provide more than the number for which you register, and may change this number at any time.
