Maternal And Child Health Access

Health Coverage Outreach and Enrollment. Through this program, MCHA provides one-on-one education and assistance to low income people seeking quality health coverage and access to services. MCHA educates people about health coverage options, helps them enroll in or renew their coverage, and works to ensure they are able to use it with clinics, doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other access points. The greatest need we serve, however, is troubleshooting, or fixing the health coverage when its not working, when clients must switch health programs, or when they have trouble getting the health care they need. We use this knowledge of health coverage issues people face to engage in broader advocacy to improve health delivery systems.

Health Coverage Training. MCHA is the organization that government agencies and other organizations turn to for accurate and up-to-date information on health care programs. MCHAs trainings help agency staff learn the intricacies of how health care programs are supposed to work and what to do when they don't. This covers enrollment, renewals, and troubleshooting for every available low-income health care program in the county and state. We accept What do I do? calls from clinics, schools, social service agencies and teach how to navigate the most difficult situations imaginable; at times we work the difficult case situations ourselves.
