Since the devastation of the health policy debate in Washington, DC, an organization in DuPage County, Illinois, has found a way to bring together hospitals, doctors, government agencies and human service agencies to care for an increasing number of County to provide this low-income residents have no health insurance. Founded in 2001 with the help of 14 organizations, Access DuPage, Carol Stream, Illinois, a suburb just west of Chicago, he began medical treatment, known as qualified members of residents in February 2002. Today, Access DuPage and organizations from 225 last year over 13,000 DuPage County residents who otherwise have no access to health services at affordable prices served together. The organization, the number is more than the end of 2009. Direct costs of DuPage surgical access has an average of just over $ 400 per user per year, but this year, the costs have been reduced to $ 363!

How is this possible? Richard Endress, president of Access DuPage believes that success is based largely on the culture of cooperation between all agencies involved. “We can do much more to address a complex problem, as is the care of the uninsured are working together, instead of working separately,” said Endress. As vice president for Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, IL 16 years, Endress seen firsthand the growing need to put together a course for health professionals and authorities to provide a cost effective continuum of care for the development are income poor, uninsured residents in Du Page County. End of 1990 there were a series of failed attempts, a program for uninsured county to develop. He argues that these efforts for several reasons, including the fact that some key players were not on the table, and no problems on the lawn.

With the coalition partners, including hospitals in Du Page County, medical, municipalities, foundations, the Du Page County Board and county health departments, and personal services insurance, and many charitable organizations, Access Du Page has managed a wide range of medical services to each State, including the distribution of individual members to provide a “medical home” and then have access to a continuum of more services, if necessary. A “medical home” provides members of primary health care, constant attention to a report in the context of family and community support, take responsibility for personal health, access to health care and care coordination largest component of broader health system. Continuity of care provides access to diagnostic services, specialist care, medicines and hospital services for each member. A person is responsible for membership in Access Du Page if he or she has resided in Du Page County at least 30 days, is less than 65 years has a family income below 200% of federal poverty level, uninsured and has no right to public programs such as Medicaid or Medicare health insurance company. Qualified candidates are scheduled Du Page access for a period of one year, after which permission to enroll in the program and its criteria have yet to be checked again enrolled. Some members pay $ 5 co pay for doctor visits, according to En dress. If diagnostic services are required, appropriate medical members to obtain these documents at no cost to each hospital in Du Page County.

“The vast majority of services received by members of the Access Du Page, have contributed to low cost or no doctors, hospitals and other partners,” said En dress. “The direct costs of operating DuPage access is about $ 363 per member, with approximately 52% of these costs to buy prescription drugs from the pharmacy benefit manager for the organization. In addition, 26% of direct costs of support operations various clinics and practices, such as the “medical home” for members to run the Access Du Page and 22% to operate the program, “he said. Pre-funding these direct costs is provided by the Du Page County seven hospitals, the Du Page County Government, Community Memorial Foundation, the State of Illinois, for refugees and immigrants, the United Way of Du Page Area available for Illinois and other small municipalities grants and other income.

The profitability of this program is clear. The prices of the two age-adjusted rates of hospitalization and use of emergency room visits, 70% of residential rates, and the total cost of care, whether it is typical managed care rates paid for services donated, about 20% less than the average employer premiums. These figures speak for themselves. This program is a success because all the players come to the table willing to work together, but has come to give and take, and create a common culture, which provides access to Du Page people in our communities in need of care.
