A patients eligibility is determined at Primary Care Access Network (PCAN) sites throughout Orange County. The process includes the following:
- Eligibility/Initial Assessment
- Needs Assessment
- Secondary Care Access
- Disease Management
- Evaluation
Criteria for Eligibility:
- Adult Orange County residents
- U.S. citizen or resident alien
- Low Income (125 % or less of the Federal Poverty Level)
- Uninsured
- No Medicare, Medicaid or Private Insurance including Veterans Administration benefits
Documents or proof needed for Eligibility:
- Photo ID
- Proof of Income- four weeks prior to application for eligibility
Eligible patients with complex medical problems are assessed and diagnosed, then referred to a network of specialists.
Orange County is a payer of last resort for those without other coverage including Medicare, Medicaid, privately purchased or employer-offered insurance, or Veteran's Administration. Potentially covered patients must apply for other coverage for which they may be eligible so Orange County does not spend limited resources on those who have other resources.
For more information, contact a PCAN clinic near you.
