New AOHC policy on non insured
At the May meeting of the CHC/AHAC ED Network an AOHC policy statement on providing healthcare services to people who are non insured was endorsed. As part of our commitment to the health equity charter it was affirmed that all AOHC members will provide services to people who are non insured, strive to facilitate access to health insurance for them, and support access to care for non insured people across CHCs and the healthcare system. CHCs/AHACs will not deny access to their services for NI people and lack of resources will not be a reason to deny services.
