Medical and Dental Care
Referrals are made to free and federally qualified health clinics for medical and dental care needs.
For residents without a primary care physician, every effort is made to get that individual registered with a primary care medical home for onging chronic care health issues.
Prescription Assistance
If required and once qualified, residents are able to obtain a 30-day supply of needed prescriptions from participating pharmacies.
If required prescriptions are expensive, the Medical Assistant provides the application for prescription assistance programs. She assists with completing paperwork and obtaining any needed documents. Once approved (takes 1-2 weeks), the resident receives a one-year supply of the medication.
Vision Exams and Care
Free eye exams and gift certificates for glasses are available to qualified residents.
Enrollment Assistance
Our Medical Assistant will help qualified residents navigate the Florida Medicaid/Medicare website and assist with applying for that coverage if the resident doesn't have access to a computer.
We also connect uninsured residents with the local Marketplace health insurance navigator for assistance getting lower cost coverage.
