Introducing 504HealthNet—A Healthcare Program for Every Person

6/26/2018

 
504HealthNet, an association comprised of 23 non-profit and governmental organizations in the Greater New Orleans area, helps connect the community to affordable, quality health care. Its program, 504HealthConnect, helps residents navigate health insurance coverage, and also links residents with Community Health Centers where they see a primary care and/ or behavioral health care provider. Community Health Centers will treat everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. They take all types of insurance and use a sliding scale fee for the uninsured.
 
A health insurance program for every person:
In the Greater New Orleans region, there is a health insurance program for everyone, depending on your family size and income. 504HealthNet works to ensure residents are aware of their options, and assists people in signing up for Medicaid and the Health Insurance Marketplace through the Affordable Care Act.
 
The following programs are available in the 504HealthNet Community:
  • Medicaid (also called Healthy Louisiana) Medicaid is health care insurance for individuals and families with low incomes. Louisiana’s Medicaid program is called Healthy Louisiana. Visit Healthcare.gov or call 1-888-342-6207 toll-free, to learn more about Medicaid and your eligibility or to apply.
  • Health Insurance Marketplace: Private insurance is also for sale on the Health Insurance Marketplace which helps uninsured and under-insured individuals and families compare and shop for affordable health insurance plans as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The open enrollment period for 2018 has closed, but certain life events can qualify you for a special enrollment period. Visit Healthcare.gov to see if you qualify for a special enrollment period. Most people who use the Marketplace will qualify for tax credits, which lower the cost of monthly payments. These lower costs are only available to those who apply for coverage through or call (800) 318-2596.
  • Sliding Fee-Scale (based on family size and income): All of the clinics listed on this site have a commitment to providing care to anyone in the Greater New Orleans area regardless of their ability to pay. These clinics accept uninsured patients and provide care based on a sliding fee scale. A sliding fee scale is based on a person’s income, and family size. Ask about exactly what you need to bring with you to apply for the sliding fee-scale when you make your appointment. Typically, you will need: a government issued ID; income information such as, a W-2 or pay stub; and your social security number.
  • Medicare: Medicare is health care coverage for senior citizens, aged 65 and older. You can learn more here or call 1-800-Medicare, (800) 633-4227.
  • Private Insurance Through Your Employer: Private health insurance is typically offered through employers or other organizations. Some employers offer only one type of health insurance plan, and others may let employees choose from more than one plan. Private insurance is also for sale on the Health Insurance Marketplace.
