Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Northland Health Care Access (NHCA) is not a Health Insurance Policy, we are a non-profit organization with the goal of enhancing access to quality healthcare services for all Northland residents.
NHCA partners with hospitals systems, providers and other healthcare organizations throughout the Northland who donate care to our patients. Through NHCA Care Coordination, patients in the programs are set up with appointments and follow-up appointments, including transportation to and from, when needed. Through Care Coordination, patients are provided with vital services like prescription assistance, medical and health supplies ranging from bandages and diapers to soap and tissue available for pick up or delivered to the patient’s home.
Patients with health insurance but who are under insured may still qualify for our Care Coordination program! We work with individuals who have limited financial resources (at or below 400% below Federal Poverty Level (FPL)). While these individuals are eligible to purchase private health insurance on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Insurance marketplace, or may have Medicaid coverage, paying for the co-pays and their medication prescriptions create a financial hardship. Please contact us at 816-880-6700 to see if you qualify.
Patients must be 18 years or older. Patient’s income must not exceed 400% of the FPL. Patients must be a Clay, Platte or Ray County resident although we are able to assist, in some capacity, residents in surrounding counties. View our programs to check the in-depth qualifications.
