Family Health Center Program

Family Health Center has a structured, insurance-like program that can help with health care services at other medical locations.

How does Family Health Center Program work?

We partner with doctors and other providers to deliver health care services through Family Health Center Program. It functions similar to health insurances, but is not considered credible coverage: Enrolled members pay a monthly program fee based on income and family size.

Family Health Center Program can help cover:

Doctor visits
Eye exams
X-rays and lab services
Dental services
Substance abuse services
Case management
Medications
