MEDICAID/HAWK-I
Promise Community Health Center accepts both Medicaid and Hawk-I programs and we have a trained outreach team to assist with questions and applying for both programs.
Medicaid is a health insurance plan provided by the government that covers things like doctor’s visits, medicines, and hospital stays. All states have their own versions of Medicaid plans. These plans are for people with low income or who have disabilities. You have to qualify based on your income or sometimes based on your disability.
The Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (hawk-i), federally known as Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), provides health coverage to nearly eight million children and families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but can’t afford private coverage. In some states, CHIP covers parents and pregnant women. Each state offers CHIP coverage, and works closely with its state Medicaid program. Some benefits covered through CHIP, include:
- Routine check-ups
- Immunizations
- Doctor visits
- Prescriptions
- Dental and vision care
- Laboratory Services
Our Outreach Team is ready to answer any of your Medicaid and Hawk-I programs questions. Contact Promise today care@promisechc.org or call 712-722-1700.
FOOD STAMPS
Our Promise Community Health Center Outreach Team can help assist with the federal government program food stamps or now known as SNAP. SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. SNAP is a federal program that helps millions of low-income Americans put food on the table. Across the United States there are 9.5 million families with children on SNAP. It is the largest program working to fight hunger in America.
Do you think you would qualify for food stamps or the SNAP program. Talk with our outreach specialists today care@promisechc.org or call 712-722-1700.
