HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE (Healthcare.Gov)
Westside’s enrollment team offers application and enrollment assistance to patients and non-patients through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Many people are eligible for low-cost private health coverage plans that cover basic primary care services, medications, maternity care, emergency room visits, and much more. Learn more about private health coverage options in Delaware through the Health Insurance Marketplace by calling 302-472-8655 in New Castle County or 302-678-2205 in Kent/Sussex counties, emailing enrollment@westsidehealth.org, or visiting our web page.

HEALTH CARE CONNECTION & SCREENING FOR LIFE
These state programs connect patients to specialists at reduced cost and cover some cancer screenings at no cost. These programs are not health insurance but make healthcare more affordable. To be eligible, you must be a resident of Delaware, uninsured, ineligible for the Health Insurance Marketplace or Medicaid, and meet financial eligibility guidelines.

MEDICATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
These programs provide assistance to people who are unable to afford their medication costs. Most pharmaceutical companies provide free or discounted medication to people who are uninsured or underinsured. Each program has its own qualifying criteria. Current proof of income may be required. NeedyMeds.org is a great resource for finding help with the cost of medications.
SLIDING FEE SCALE
Our sliding fee scale program offers our patients the opportunity to receive quality affordable health care. Your total household income and number of family members are the basis for determining the fees for your visits.
Please note: Proof of income must be provided annually.
