New Access to Care Program Offered at Franklin Memorial Hospital
Offers assistance in finding the best option for health care coverage and support
Farmington¾
FARMINGTON – Franklin Memorial Hospital has launched CarePartners Plus (CP+), an access to care program that provides free or low-cost health care and prescriptions.
The program is a partnership of CoverME.gov Marketplace providers Community Health Options or Harvard Pilgrim, and MaineHealth Free Care.
Patients may choose a Silver-level Marketplace plan that works best for them, free or low-cost health care and prescriptions, as well as a case manager if they’d like help navigating the health care system and accessing social services, such as general assistance, adult education, clothing, eyeglasses, and SNAP/food resources.
Benefits for patients include:
• Low cost or no monthly insurance premium
• Free health care from MaineHealth providers and from other providers and hospitals that also offer free care
• Free or low-cost medication
• No obligation to keep the insurance for the full year
Those who qualify include:
• Single individuals or families who are U.S. citizens with an annual income at or below $27,180 for single person/$55,500 for family of four.
• An asylum seeker or legal permanent resident who is not eligible for MaineCare because of immigration status and has an income under $27,180. These applicants also must have a Social Security number and a Work Authorization Card.
• Patients or spouses who are not offered health insurance through work.
All participants must file taxes for the year in which they receive benefits from the program.
Patients who can’t afford health insurance should connect with Alison Ouellet, case manager with CarePartners Plus, at 207-779-2834 or Alison.Ouellet@mainehealth.org for assistance finding the best option for coverage and support.
The Access to Care office is off Franklin Memorial Hospital’s front lobby in room 1065, and walk-ins are also welcome.
