CA is proud to support Healthy Howard
Howard County government is now offering access to health
care for up to 2,200 uninsured residents through Healthy Howard
Access Plan. CA is proud to support this initiative and will
offer special incentives to participants.
"CA supports the county's efforts to make health
care accessible to as many Howard County residents as possible,"
Rob Goldman, vice president of Sport & Fitness at CA, said.
"This is a natural fit for CA, as exercise is preventative
medicine, and CA is the premier provider of sport and fitness
facilities, programs, activities and services in Howard County."
Healthy Howard Access Plan is not a health insurance plan.
It is a program that provides access to health care only in
Howard County and is available only to eligible Howard County
residents. Participants will work with a health coach to set
goals and take steps to being healthier.
"Over time, we hope to demonstrate that providing access
to comprehensive health services, combined with the support
of a health coach and a health action plan, will indeed make
a difference in the health status of our participants, as well
as improve the community's health," said
Ken Ulman, county executive. "If we succeed, we will
be one step closer to creating a model public health community."
The plan offers comprehensive health care at an affordable
monthly fee for residents ages 19-64 who have not had health
insurance for a minimum of six months prior to the date of
application. If you currently have health insurance or are
eligible for other health care programs such as Medicare, Maryland
Medicaid or the Primary Adult Care Program, the program is
not for you.
The plan is designed to provide health care at a greatly reduced
cost to participants who would not otherwise be able to afford
or obtain health insurance. The costs range from $50 to $115.
The plan provides or facilitates access to primary care, specialists,
urgent care, emergency room care, hospital care, diagnostic
and lab tests, mental health care, substance abuse treatment
and prescription drugs.
