About Project Access

 Wake County Physicians are generous, compassionate and
caring. Since 2000, over 500 physicians and clinical staff
have continued to provide free care to poor uninsured men,
women and children through Project Access. They are
leaders in collaborating with community health clinics and
hospitals to deliver care to many who had little hope for
feeling better or receiving extraordinary treatment. Lives
have been changed because of their passion to help
people get and stay well.

Project Access of Wake County is a physician referral
program, which means qualified patients can only be referred
into the program due to medical necessity. Patients are
carefully screened for eligibility before being referred.
(2011 Eligibility Guidelines)

Project Access ID Card: For specialty referrals, patients
receive PA ID cards they are required to present at every
Project Access appointment. The patient's eligibility date
is printed on the card, along with the name and phone
number of their referring clinic. If there is a question about
eligibility, call the Project Access office at 919.792.3625.

Enrollment Period: Patients are re-certified annually by
their enrollment clinics. The enrollment period is based
on their most recent certification and is printed on the
PA ID card.

Medication Assistance: Patients receive a modest annual
pharmacy benefit for prescriptions written by Project Access
providers. (PA Formulary) If the physician prescribes a drug
that is not on the formulary, Project Access staff will assist
the patient to apply for drug assistance through their referring
clinic. Often times they can apply for programs and get their
medications free.

Diagnostic Referrals: Patients can receive free diagnostic
tests through Duke Raleigh Hospital, Rex Healthcare and
WakeMed. Services include blood work, x-rays, MRIs, CT
scans, ultrasound, cardiac testing, pulmonary function
testing, and nerve conduction studies. When scheduling
an appointment, be sure to identify the patient as a
Project Access member.

Hospitalization and Anesthesiology: All three Wake
County hospital corporations (Duke Raleigh, Rex
Healthcare and WakeMed and Hospitals), and American
Anesthesiology of NC, provide free care to Project
Access patients.

Enrollment Primary Care Clinics: Patients are
screened for eligibility at these safety nets clinics and
receive primary care, patient education for chronic
disease and drug assistance services. (List of Clinics)
