Patient Information

WHAT IS PROJECT ACCESS?

We are a healthcare assistance program for the qualified uninsured residents of Richmond and Columbia Counties. Primary care services are available at area community clinics for a small co-pay. Specialty care services are provided at private practices free of charge. Three hospitals in Richmond County are also participating by providing x-ray, lab, diagnostic testing, inpatient and outpatient services free of charge; those are Doctors Hospital, Trinity Hospital and University Hospital. Prescription drugs are also available through the program for a $5 co-pay per prescription. However, the prescription must be written by a Project Access physician and not all drugs are covered.
