The Bureau of Primary Health Care is focused on solutions for low-income, uninsured individuals and individuals with special health care needs.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
CMS runs the Medicare and Medicaid programs – two national health care programs that benefit about 75 million Americans. CMS also runs the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), a program that is expected to cover many of the approximately 10 million uninsured children in the United States.
The HCH program emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach to delivering care to homeless persons, combining aggressive street outreach with integrated systems of primary care, mental health and substance abuse services, case management, and client advocacy. Emphasis is placed on coordinating efforts with other community health providers and social service agencies.
Human Resources & Services Administration
The HRSA assures the availability of quality health care to low income, uninsured, isolated, vulnerable and special needs populations and meets their unique health care needs.
National Association of Insurance Commissioners
Link to your state insurance department websites from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) website. State insurance departments are responsible for licensing and regulating insurance companies doing business in their state and approving their insurance policies. These agencies often have consumer information and can help with consumer complaints.
