Uninsured Program

The Partnership for Community Care (P4CC) Uninsured Program is a program that helps people without health insurance access comprehensive medical care. It is NOT a Health Insurance. The program is made up of a network of generous doctors and other healthcare providers. These doctors provide healthcare services to eligible adults.

In 2007, the Guilford Community Care Network (GCCN) was developed. GCCN is an initiative organized under Guilford Adult Health, Inc. (GAH). GAH, which was incorporated in 2002, is a private/public partnership between High Point Regional Health System, Cone Health System and Guilford County through the Guilford County Department of Public Health.

P4CC partners with GCCN to complete the eligibility and enrollment for patients into the program. Once patients were enrolled they are eligible for other services provided by P4CC. This includes Case Management, Transitional Nursing, community referrals, pharmacy referrals, nutrition, disease education, medication education, etc. Under the P4CC umbrella, the GCCN program is referred to as the Uninsured Program.

There are over 70,000 adults in Guilford County that have no health insurance and are unable to afford private insurance. Partnership for Health Management's Uninsured Program is here to help you improve and maintain your health. To be eligible for the program you must be 19 years or older, income eligible, live in Guilford County and cannot have any form of health insurance, including Medicaid or Medicare. You must have an annual income at or below 200% FPL (federal poverty level which is for an individual $21,780 and a family of four (4) $ 44,700.)
