First 5 Nevada is proud to announce that the Access Medical Program from Access to Healthcare has been added to the website and eligibility portal!

Healthcare can be expensive, but the Access Medical Program can help make it more affordable for individuals and families in need. Offered by Access to Healthcare, this program provides discounts on medical services, helping people save money on everything from doctor visits to lab tests and even prescriptions.

The program is designed for those who are uninsured or underinsured and have limited income. By becoming a member of the Access Medical Program, participants can access a wide range of healthcare services at a reduced cost, making it easier to get the care they need without breaking the bank.

How It WorksOnce enrolled, members can visit a network of doctors, specialists, and pharmacies that offer discounted rates. The program also covers essential services like dental care, vision care, and mental health counseling. This can be a huge help for families who may not have access to traditional health insurance programs.

Eligibility and Enrollment
To join, you’ll need to meet certain income requirements. The enrollment process is simple, and the team at Access to Healthcare is available to assist with any questions.
